I will not give advice about vaccination documentation in your particular case but I want to let you know that those EU Europeans who, unlike you, are not vaccinated need to have proof of a PCR test or similar test OR a rapid antigen test when crossing the land border from France into Spain. This is the new rule for entry into Spain since the 7th of June.i can always have the PCR test
Entry requirements are applicable for travelling to Spain:
|
Name and surname of holder. Date of vaccination, indicating the date of the last dose administered. Type of vaccine administered. Number of doses administered / complete regimen. Issuing country. Identification of the issuing body of the vaccination certificate. |
The certificates must be written in Spanish, English, French or German. In case the certificate is not written in these languages, the certificate must be accompanied by a translation into Spanish authorized or carried out by a Spanish official authority. |
Note:All travellers arriving in Spain as their final destination must undergo a health check on arrival at the first entry point.This control will include, at least, the temperature measurement, a documentary control and a visual control on the state of the passenger. If you are in transit check the specific rules. |
I saw here, when you put entering Spain from France were I imagine he is coming from...@Katia Taam, is your quote taken from a Spanish government website?
This is what I read on https://www.spth.gob.es at this moment in time, and I quote:I saw here, when you put entering Spain from France were I imagine he is coming from...
Well I thought this was an official site, I wanted to help not add to confusion.This is what I read on https://www.spth.gob.es at this moment in time, and I quote:
Please avoid quoting extensively from non-government websites. The confusion among the global public interested in the requirements for travel to Spain is bad enough as it is.
For the record, this is what the real Reopen EU website says when you enter "France to Spain" into the travel tool:It is not an official Spanish government website and it contains errors. It mimics the layout of Reopen EU.
As I said I was only trying to help ok, but I do apologize for all this unpleasant problem I've apparently createted.Hence my plea to copy-paste from official government websites only. Reopen EU is run by the official EU administration and the information is fed into this website by the government administrations of the EU countries.
I recently crossed from Irun into hendaye on foot and was stopped by french police in the middle of the bridge. I produced my PCR which was out of date by a week and they let me pass. Then I traveled by train to SJPP and proceeded to walk back into Spain. No Spanish police on the Napoleon route, not even a marker where the border is.There is no need to apologise and there is no unpleasant problem. It was a good opportunity to make clear what kind of documents are required and what kind of documents are not required of pilgrims who currently walk from France to Spain and where to find reliable information.
Private albergues (many are closed) are working at 50%. Municipal albergues are closed (a few are open, like Murias de Rechivaldo), church albergues are open, also at 50%. Mask use is de rigueur in cities and haphazard in small towns. Pilgrims in the countryside don't bother. I did not see any contact tracing whatsoever.Thank you for the feedback, @emmanuel, from someone on the ground. Much appreciated. What you report does not surprise me. There is nothing in the relevant Spanish laws about the required documents that a traveller must have that says that these documents will be controlled at land borders.
How is Covid-19 Track & Tracing going in Spain? If I were in an irregular situation my greatest concern would be that I might get caught up in the review process of a transmission chain when someone gets ill and I was in the vicinity of that person.
I have no personal worries, though. I'm duly vaccinated and will be in possession of my EU Digital Covid vaccination certificate in less than a week from now.
Best of luck, @Signy33. Let me know if you need info about links and/or app for download.Tomorrow i'll hopefully be able to download the EU certificate
I had no problem on the ehealth website. I'm used to using it as i receive all official mail from the health ministry on that portal.Best of luck, @Signy33. Let me know if you need info about links and/or app for download.
Thank you for your feedback and Buen Camino!
PS: The easiest and quickest way is downloading the CovidSafeBE app from an App Store and then use Itsme for the initial identification at startup.
