September trip to Spain, entry question

What passport do you have? How long do you intend to stay? What is the purpose of your visit?

US passport and we will be there for 3 weeks.

I’m asking because I find it hard to believe that this would be required but I did look it up and it states that proof of financial resources are needed that is why I’m asking on the forum.

In all my multiple trips to Spain I’ve never been asked to show proof of funds. The usual questions asked are how long you intend to stay in country and where you intend to visit. Occasionally you’ll be asked where you’re staying the first night.

You’re overthinking this.

Thanks for your assistance everyone.

Actually, this is a real thing in most countries. Years ago I traveled with a friend who overdrank and underslept on our flight to Amsterdam. He was mid-twenties, blue jeans and a t-shirt. He couldn't effectively answer questions about money, where we were staying, etc. He got pulled into customs interogation room. We had to go rescue him by assuring them that we weren't coming in to deal drugs, pan handle, etc. and that we had hotel reservations, credit cards, and return tickets.

OP asked a valid question. And it is a question occasionally asked at Passport Control. Just watch some of the different border control TV shows. Sometimes it's someone with a one way ticket and either no or a lot of luggage. Or someone who looks like they may have been sleeping rough. Or just someone the officer gets a certain vibe from. Not usually something asked of the average traveller who can answer the usual entry questions. If asked, tell how much you've got in credit cards, and in cash. But it's unlikely.

So in 1974 if you were in your 20's and flew while drunk and wearing blue jeans or are currently on a reality cop show then perhaps...
But, people are generally just asked the purpose of their visit, and perhaps how long they plan to stay.

... if I may: stop worrying! You're not going to be asked to provide proof of anything... unless, or rather, perhaps if you came with certain passports, from certain countries and your looks were suspicious.... which is not the case, right?

Thank you CJean.

One time I watched the man ahead of me coming through US Customs with two Cabbage Patch dolls he purchased in London. I doubt he though it was a big deal and didn't worry about it until he was told they were conterfeits. This was, as luck would have it, just a few days before Christmas and there wasn't a Cabbage Patch doll to be found in the US.
