If you enter the Schengen zone through Spain, you might be questioned, so be prepared to prove that the Czech Republic really is your main destination (length of stay, hotel reservations, travel itinerary, etc.). You can find the applicable law in the Article 5 of Schengen Acquis:
Quote Article 5 Member State competent for examining and deciding on an application 1. The Member State competent for examining and deciding on an application for a uniform visa shall be: (b) if the visit includes more than one destination, the Member State whose territory constitutes the main destination of the visit(s) in terms of the length or purpose of stay; Enjoy your travel.

Quote 2.1.2. If the travel destination includes more than one Member State, the application must be dealt with by the consulate of the main destination. The main destination is understood to be the destination where the applicant intends to spend the longest time or where the main purpose of the intended journey is carried out. Example: A Moroccan national wishes to travel to France for a family visit (20 days) and has additionally organised a meeting with a business partner in Belgium (two days). He will arrive at and leave from Amsterdam (Netherlands). The main purpose of the trip is the family event, and thus the French consulate should deal with the application.
