Do both of these sentences mean the same?

I have never been to Spain.
I (have) never went to Spain.

Is have optional in the second sentence, since its inclusion makes the sentence a present perfect?

The meaning is similar but the usage is slightly different, for example: A: Have you been to France? B: Yes. A: How about Spain?
