Re: Portugal to Spain by car with new biometric card

"disponer" could mean "provide", so it's "provide a passport", not "have a passport". Sorry to add more confusion but is there 100% confirmation that no action is needed?

Re: What to bring to biometric card appointment if your 5-year residency ended

Re: What to bring to biometric card appointment if your 5-year residency ended

Was that renewing your temporary residency? Or was it a permanent one? Are you able to auto-renew it online now you have the card?

What is creme vegetal?

I have this left over in the fridge from a previous tenant. It says "Creme Vegetal para Culinaria". Is it just vegetable fat that you would use like lard?
