Schengen Visa "validity" and "duration of stay" clarification ?

Question

I plan to travel to Spain for a duration of 45 days. Visa shows validity of 90 days, but duration of stay as 30 days, what does it mean ? DO I have to leave the country on the 30th day ? If go out before 30 days (say on 25th day) and come back to Spain ( or any schengen country) can I stay for another 30 days or just the 5 days ?
Thanks

1. The validity of 90 days shows the period during which you may stay in the Schengen area for a total number of 30 days.



2. If you leave after 25 days it depends on the number of entries granted whether you may come back. If it shows "01" in the number of entries column you cannot come back on this visa. If it shows "02" or MULT you may return for another 5 days stay.

You're right. You do not have to prove a fact to anyone as long as you can admit it is faith. Faith does not constitute fact. If you had a rational reason to believe in fairy tales, you would not need faith. That being said, by openly admitting to having faith that your fairy tales are true, you open yourself to criticism and ridicule. It may not seem nice, and it may not feel very fair. But it's the way life is. So either zip it or deal with it.
