Came back into Portugal today from Spain and the border control was heavily manned by GNR.
We were funneled through the crossing single file where having English registered car I expected a grilling. But no problem just waved through never even asked to pull into where the foreign cars are supposed to go. |

It was mentioned on here, it's because of the Papal visit.

I suppose for air passengers it'll be business as usual at passport control?

Much tighter security at all border crossings and entry points until Monday.
Tonisdad - you obviously don't look like a threat!

They were stopping vehicles on the roundabout near the Bullring on Wednesday morning. We were on the bus, which was crammed full, and they just let us through

I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa.

So the old soap-on-a-rope being 275km away the following day gives the GNR an excuse to nick people for not having the right bit of paper in Albufeira... |
