Does anyone know if any kind of Covid restriction/testing is in place for the border crossing from France into Spain along the Frances? I am crossing September 2, 2022.

At the land crossing on the Camino Frances, there is no border control at all. if you are lucky, you might see a sign on the dirt path nearby.

From Orisson tout Roncevaux, you will meet almost horses, perhaps sheep or cows if you are very lucky.
Until now, none of them have asked for a test result...

After Orisson, up the hill there is sometimes a white van with drinks and refreshments including hard-boiled eggs. It's worth the stop and don't forget to stamp your credencial - it's the last stamp in France!

Quick question - I’m going in circles on the internet…I fly from Australia to Dublin, spend two days the fly to Biarritz and on to SJPP. From what I can understand (even though I’m fully vaccinated and 2 boosters) with an international proof document to say such, neither is required for Ireland or France. However, I do need something called a SpTH filled out before I arrive in Spain…because I don’t have an EU Digital CoVid certificate - at least I do if I’m flying in. But I’ll be coming across land - is it still necessary and when I try to look at the SpTH it doesn’t seem to ask for anything CoVid related…or am I missing something?
Help required to leave the circling of information with no clear answers!!! In anticipation.

The SpTH form is only required when entering Spain by air.

You would see it at a later stage, but as @trecile says, you don't need to submit the SpTH form when you are walking into Spain. You can step away from those circling thoughts!

I'd recommend bringing your vaccination certificate in paper and electronic form anyway, for example in case you need it to fly home.
