Default Returning from Portugal to Spain by road?

If I read it correctly the Spanish gov site is saying that as PT is not on it's safe list then a vaccination cert, -ve pcr cert or a 'recovered' cert is required on entry to Spain from PT. The gov.uk website says all land border restrictions are lifted between Spain and PT. Can any recent experiences from those of you on the ground down there shed any light on the actual situation at the border?

Went over the river to Castro Marim for my weekly massage at 10.10 this morning shopped for bits had lunch and returned at 16.00. Absolutely no controls on the border. All controls removed about 4 weeks ago and there is no intention to reimpose them. The threat to reimpose lasted about a morning last week and was withdrawn within twelve hours with apologises from PM’S office.

All a mix-up about authority , Spanish Health Service imposed the national exclusion criteria but national borders are the prerogative of national governments not health authorities so quickly "slapped down". Traffic flowing as normal.
