Nope. Brittany ferry to Santander. on Tuesday night. One night in Burgos then into Portugal.
Travel insurance sorted, including Spain, too.
Ferry return ticket is flexible so we will watch covid developments carefully.
Quite happy to quarantine on return (freezer fully stocked).

With the speed with which these things are changing, I would humbly suggest that anyone going to foreign parts does so in the expectation that it could all be different tomorrow, and only go if 2 weeks of self isolation on return is not a problem.
If you are going; have a fantastic time.

TV tonight had some people who were going to Spain but switched to Croatia to avoid quarantine but now find themselves having to quarantine anyway.

All a risk we are prepared to take.
Portugal seems safer than UK. Our time is flexible and we can stay as long as we want really.
Quarantining on return is catered for, and may well be necessary, if Spain's covid levels do not improve.

But you will come back via Spain...

But you will come back via Spain...

Yup. Driving through Spain retaining our social bubble, except for a fuel stop."Battlefront" travel insurance covers us for that.
Red Pennant for Portugal.

If you come back from through Spain no matter whether you stay in your so called bubble or not you have to quarantine...

Yes, I know. Quite prepared for that.
It would be irresponsible not to be.
