Although I've never been there, some friend told me that one of these Heinkels/Casa is exhibited in the Spanish Air Museum on the outskirts of Madrid. Both the Spanish AF and the Portuguese AF had german aircraft in their inventory, although the Spanish had a far greater stock partially left overs from the Legion Condor.
