Borders closure between Portugal and Spain

Starting today at 11pm, tourists have been prevented from crossing the land borders between Portugal and Spain, a measure taken between the two countries to try to stop the coronavirus crisis in Portugal. Only travel for work or transportation of goods are not suspended.

– Quintanilha / San Vitero

– Vilar Formoso / Fuentes de Oñoro

– Termas de Monfortinho / Moraleja

– Marvão / Valencia de Alcântara

– Caia / Badajoz

– Vila Verde de Ficalho / Rosal de La Frontera

Air traffic, rail and river connections between the two countries are also suspended.
