travelling to the Schengen area on two separate Visas?

travelling to the Schengen area on two separate Visas? - Wet rice fields in countryside

I will be travelling to Spain from the 7th to the 16th of Jan, 2020 on 2 multiple entry Schengen visit visas.

My old visa (a 2 year multiple entry visit visa) was valid till the 14th of Jan but since the conference I am travelling for lasts till the 16th, I applied to the Spanish embassy for a second visa, which they issued from the 15th of Jan to the 15th of July.

I'm wondering if I will face any issue at immigration since my stay is covered by two separate visas.

Can I have 2 Schengen visas?

Schengen visas may allow for a single-entry or multiple entries. With a single-entry visa you can enter the Schengen area only once. This is indicated on the visa sticker by "01". With a visa allowing for two or multiple entries you may enter twice or several times during the validity of the visa.

Can I travel to other Schengen countries with multiple entry visa?

Schengen visas allow to make one-entry, two-entries or multi-entries. With one-entry visa you can travel the Schengen area only once. It is indicated in your visa as \u201c01\u201d. With two-entries or multi-entries you can respectively travel to the Schengen area twice or several times during the visa validity period.

Can you transit through 2 Schengen countries?

Changing planes two times within the Schengen Area for onward travel outside Schengen: short-stay visa. If you are transiting through two different Schengen airports for onward travel to a country outside Schengen and the first transit airport is in the Netherlands, you need to apply for a short-stay Schengen visa.

Should my first trip be to the country which issued my Schengen visa?

There is no general requirement that you must enter the Schengen Area through the country that issued your visa. Your main destination may be different than your first destination. To prevent complications, stick to your itinerary as best you can.
