The border closure between Portugal and Spain will remain in place until 16 March due to the pandemic and two more authorised border crossing points added in Ponte da Barca and Vinhais.
According to a statement issued on 26 February by the Ministry of Internal Administration (MAI), the decision to open two more Points of Authorised Passage (PPA) was taken after meetings with the mayors of the municipalities in the border areas.
Thus, circulation between Portugal and Spain will remain limited at the land and river borders until 16 March, with 18 PPAs operating from 2 March, either permanently or opening at set times.
