Is covid test required for land travel into Portugal?

Hi! My husband and I are having a hard time finding a solid answer. We will be traveling by bus from Seville, Spain to Faro, Portugal. We are both vaccinated and boosted, will we need a Covid test prior to crossing borders?

Thank you in advance!

We are currently in Spain, we didn’t need a test flying in but online it seemed like things could be different traveling by land, is what we’re wondering if that will be different. At one point my husband read we would need a test traveling by land but is pretty sure it’s the same site that no longer says that. We’re just nervous to run into any hiccups!

I flew to Lisbon from the US via Madrid on May 7 - our vaccination cards were checked only in Boston at the Iberia desk when we checked our bags. Were not asked for COVID test results at all.
