CORRECTION: A previous version of this article indicated that PCR tests would be needed to pass into Spain by land, the health checks have only been

I put possibly because I’m unsure how accurate the olive press is.

A good way to put families off visiting Spain this winter. The virus tests will no doubt be private and expensive.

Checked at land borders, it says. We shall see.

I'm struggling with this as well. My neighbour travels 2 or 3 x a month, by road usually, from here via France, Germany, Luxembourg ,Belgium,to Holland collecting vehicles & returns with them.
When I asked before he didn't even know there was any type of form to be filled in for entry to France/spain ?
Next week it is a flight to Germany pick up a lorry & drag & on to Holland to load more trailers & back.
I'd also be amazed at border crossings by road if there was any checks.

& if you click the link in the article it states travellers of any nationality enetering spain from abroad yet still only states "air travellers" .Probably why no one else bothers?

France will get an update from Prime Minister Jean Castex this evening, after two weeks of a second lockdown. But already more than 60% of French citizens have broken the lockdown rules, a survey suggests – many say they've been seeing family and friends or used a special travel certificate for the wrong reasons.

The Dutch government plans to impose €95 (£85) fines on anyone not wearing a mask indoors in public spaces – until now there have been constitutional problems in changing the law.

Spain has now seen 40,000 Covid deaths and it's going to ask visitors from 65 at risk countries, including neighbouring France, to take a negative test in the three days before they travel.

The head of the EU's health agency, Andrea Ammon, has warned that it is optimistic to think the first vaccines will roll out in the first three months of 2021 – she's told AFP news agency that the pandemic in Europe is "very, very concerning"

My understanding of this is that it stipulates that a neg test is required when entering any port or airport......no mention of cross border roads, and as Gus has said, his neighbour is back and forth without any issues, so what is the definitive rule?

In theory, you can leave the UK after this lock down ends, hopefully, and enter France via the tunnel. Transit france and enter Spain, but if you had done a test just before leaving the UK, that could then have exceeded the 72 hours rule, so you will have to find somewhere in France, north of the Spanish border, to get a test? Is that how it will work?

Or is it a case of just going for it basing your eligibility on the poor wording that hasn't mentioned entering Spain "By road"?
