Hi,
I need guidance from travelers who have been to Spain recently and had to fill out the SpTH form. I’ll be traveling from the US to Barcelona with a 2-hr layover in Lisbon.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I have similar concerns, on the Spain health site it says children under 12 or transiting through the airport don't need the form completed,but I have a short connection departure for US from Bologna to Madrid, arriving in Charlotte NC. I can't take the chance if the if the Madrid connection on Iberia doesn't allow the transiting without the code.
I have created an account on the Spanish health site.
But not sure how easy it is to update my vaccine proof, not sure if I can get the code,not sure if I need a paper QR code or just share on my phone, etc

I think we have a different situation. I’m transiting in Lisbon, Spain as my destination. Yours is the other way around, as I understand. You’re transiting in Madrid with Bologna as the destination.
Just responded to a similar thread in Rick Steves forum with a video, quite easy. See https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/spain/spth-requirements
In reality, do you think anyone actually reads or cares what you put on the form? Fill it out best you can. If by some remote chance you have to explain, then do so.
I would enter the flight number for the Lisbon -Barcelona flight, but use U.S. as country of origin. If using the app ensure it doesn’t change dates in you. I filled mine out using the website.
Once you get your QR code, take a screenshot of it and save it to photos in the event you can’t bring up your mail at the desk. I also had a printed copy. Not sure about Barcelona, but in Madrid you showed the code right after passing through immigration.

I think that if transiting through Madrid Airport I don't need the Spain health code for my vaccination record, but I have a short connection from Bologna to Madrid. Anyone able to verifly this ? Personal experience? I depart on 20 September .

I transited through MAD on Friday Schengen to non-Schengen and there was no health or vaccination status check of any sort. Upon arrival (from a Schengen country) we deplaned into the secure area, so no additional security screening either.
Thanks everyone for all the information you shared! They’re very helpful!
