If I want to fly VFR between 2 schengen countries, apart from filing a flight plan, can I fly from one VFR non controlled airfield to another, or must I present myself at a customs airfield and go through formal procedures?
Example is to fly form Casarubios del monte (near Madrid) to a VFR airport non controlled airport near lisbon e.g. cascais

This is not an air traffic control problem.
Once you're inside Schengen you can travel from one country to another by only filing a flight plan.
No further customs formalities are necessary.

In Denmark you're only allowed to fly to and from the country via an international airport.
If you want to use a private airport, the airport has to be approved by custom authorities.
Here a link to the airports in Denmark, and what they're approved for:

My best guess is both the AIP for Spain and Portugal in AD 1.3 have the same overview.
Most AIP's I've seen contains the same information under the same chapters (wonder why).
