Can you travel from Portugal to Spain and Spain to Portugal freely and without quarantine
Nothing to stop you doing that Ray, but you have to declare it on your Health Locator form if returning back to the UK.
Quarantine will then become Mandatory

An interesting question. As you must spend 14 days in quarantine after leaving Spain and you have spent those 14 days in Portugal without showing any COVID-19 symptoms, one would assume that you have fulfilled the requirement as Portugal is now free from our quarantine rules.That’s only my interpretation but we will see what others say. It’s a great idea if you can do it. Enjoy.

The quarantine period of 14 days is for when arriving in UK from various countries on the “naughty” list - of which Spain is one. The 14 days is not just because somebody has been in Spain, it’s set by the government of UK, not Spain. People leaving Spain and going to Portugal will need to abide by Portugal’s rules, not sure if they impose a 14 day period too? Not sure how it applies from people going from Spain- Portugal- UK , as there may then be a quarantine period at each stage of the journey?

Roy if someone has spent 14 days in Portugal and is not showing any symptoms of Covid 19 then i dont see an issue as far as UK based Quarantine is concerned.
The vast majority of travellers from Spain would not be fortunate enough to be able to spend a further 14 days in Portugal, en route to the UK.
The passenger locator form will still, however, have to be completed.

You can request a Covid19 test free of charge by going online but even when it shows negative, we still must quarantine for 14 days if returning from
Spain It will just give you peace of mind.

Yes I agree with that the thinking was to fly to Portugal drive to our house in Spain stay for a week then back to Portugal for 14 days
