Are you a resident in Spain not just a visitor?   If not you may be stopped and fined as officially Spain’s borders are currently closed.   Keep an eye on the N332 Facebook page as they have been keeping us up to date with any new rules and regulations in respect of the virus since last March.   The page, and their website that deals with anything to do with driving in Spain, is run in collaboration with officers of the Guardia Civil for English speaking people.

What Passport have you got and have you residency in Spain.

I think the current situation is as below, happy to be corrected

UK -At present, you cannot leave

France - at present you have to of had a test and then isolate for 7 days in government approved establishment

Spain - at present a lot of internal borders closed

So good luck is you find out more please let us know as we will follow ASAP, I travel on an Irish Passport

Hi Paul,

like others, just checking you have residency in Spain, or can prove you have applied and are waiting an appointment?

If not you wouldn’t be permitted entry to Spain even for a house purchase, as far as my understanding goes. 

I travel back and forth to the U.K. every couple of weeks with a valid exemption and can attest that the checks have been pretty stringent so far

All the best on the purchase

Pour moi il y a 15 jours,

aucun contrôle, ni Français ni Espagnol 

j'ai fait le test PCR pour rien, et je respecte le couvre feu en dormant dans ma voiture

en passant l'aller par la jonquera et retour par Canfranc
