Laws on recording in public, filming people without their permission and operating in-car electronics have no set EU regulation and are left instead to individual national governments. I would do some extra research before you head out. You can record in Spain without any restrictions. Like the UK, drivers in France can use a dash cam but it cannot obstruct the driver’s view. France also restricts dash cams to 'private use', which — in this case — that means you can't simply just share footage (on Youtube or Facebook, for example) unless you ask those who are being filmed. Although it's legal to use a dash cam when you drive in Spain, once you arrive in Portugal you can't use a dash cam (or similar) because you don't have consent from every person or vehicle that you'd be recording footage of. This is the Portuguese legislation that backs this point up: www.cnpd.pt/english/bin/legislation/Law6798EN.HTM
