Given that Spain permits you to transit to Portugal and you manage by hook or by crook to gain entry to Spain through Santander, can you then transit Portugal to the Algarve?

I‘m thinking Tavira as this is not too far from the Spanish border and the Spanish motorways are free on the western routes. We know the area and the roads as a result of previous visits so it is simply a logistics question.

I have done some research and it is all a bit confusing so if anybody has made this trip recently or has any useful links they can point to please report!
 
I don't have any experience myself but a Brit motorhome turned up at this campsite in Almeria Province last week and he had come from the Algarve with no problems, so you can do the journey in reverse if that helps! :)

Don't think there is a problem transiting through except on holiday periods and during curfew when you cannot travel across municipal borders.

Hi, I have also been trying to find out if Aires are open in Portugal, can't seem to find an answer anywhere though 🤔 We are already in Southern Spain, been here since September after coming through the tunnel, a first for us. We have been selling our villa here as wanted to spend more time in the moho travelling. Anyway its all going through nicely and should be completed by early January, but we fancy going off in the moho to Portugal until it all goes through. Does anyone know if Aires are open?
 
I have just googled a few looked at the newest reviews which are very recent. Some even have contact details ...
