Here in Portugal we (and Spain) have landmarks that define the border, and there's a treaty signed in 1846 that states these landmarks should be maintained in cooperation between the two countries.

You can see some examples here, with the numbers and type of landmarks (apparently there are 1010 stone marks, other types of marks are wet marks for example, like rivers and lakes): https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_tro%C3%A7os_da_raia_(...

Although we don't officially agree what those actual borders are everywhere:

We both agree on the border there, see the treaty of vienna. The problem is that spain doesn't do what they agreed to do.

I wonder when this we be brought to light, specially when we have a pressing matter with Spain that's also being avoided, yet it could be extremely damaging to Portugal... I'm talking about the management of Tejo river.

The re routing Spain is doing is contributing to the destruction of a massive portion of Portugal ecosystems.
