Salvum Clinic, 40€ for antigen test. Top Alicant , near Life Resort. Need to book, they’re very busy!

Clinica del Rio Hortega, Carrer Almirante Antequera,36 Santa Pola.

200m East along the above street from castle. Call at premises first, they may do you immediately, or ask you to come back for your test. Go and have a coffee in the castle square.

Antigen test is fine for pre-departure 29 Euros, ask for printed certificate, which will be asked for at airport departure.

 Their PCR test is, I think! 49 Euros, but this isn’t necessary for departure.

Best wishes

Hi Guys.

I used the one at the Life Resort last time.

However, we are driving over in September, and could have done with getting a test on a Sunday (or Saturday if not).

Are there any places locally that work weekends,or are they all Monday to Friday.

Thanks in advance

Phil

Hi Phil,

If you are driving over, the IMED in Elche is 7 days.

Thanks Ray.

That's certainly been my findings up to now. 

Wanted to reach Eurotunnel for a Tuesday departure, 2 days driving. Unfortunately not possible to get tested in line with this, in GA.

I do know someone who used a chemist in France, and it was only around 15 to 20 Euros. I wanted to avoid needing to find one, but....
