Have you recently arrived at Santander on a ferry? Did you have a customs check and had they imposed them carte blanche or just random? I wanted to plan my exit route South and it is normally very quick off the boat and out through the docks but this will be my first trip since Brexit. What was your experience of custom checks, more intense?
 
We came out in July. The checks in Portsmouth were pretty thorough, mirror under van, garage checked, inside lockers opened. In Spain they just asked if we had any pets or anything to declare and when we said no we were waved straight through. We came with an empty fridge because of the Brexit rules but nobody checked.

Thanks, I had visions of being held up for hours whilst they checked whatever they wanted to check with the result that we had no real chance of getting away expeditiously.
 
We went through Santander on June 2 nd..about 20 minutes from driving down the ramp to exiting the port..BUSBY.
