Visiting Europe, starting in Portugal

Post new topic

gypsy1951

I plan on visiting Europe in mid-late 2016 and would like to stay about a year or so.  I am wondering how I go about doing this without getting a country specific visa?  I would like to stay in Portugal/Spain first for a couple of months and them move on.  Will a Schengen visa do the trick?  I am a US citizen and have been living in Ecuador for the past 2 years.  thanks for any/all advice.
