Hi All...we will be travelling to Guardamar in August and will need a PCR test 3 days prior to returning to the UK.
Does anyone know if anywhere in Guardamar that will be doing this.
Thank you

The farmacia in El Raso , the road from Guardamar to Quesada, does the antigen test, €40. They are on the internet where you can get the number. They speak English.

Just to clarify that El Raso farmacia only perform the antigen test at 40€ . But current regulations say this test is acceptable to get you back to the U.K. Their order book is looking quite full even well into August so I would advise you give them as much notice as you can. Payment is cash only.

Hi
I may have it wrong but I understood that a Antigen test wasn't suitable and that it is a Lamp/PCR test you require ?

No it’s the other way round, if not fully vaccinated you need a PCR test to enter Spain ( unless Spanish Resident)
But for travel back to U.K. an antigen test is all that’s required for your fit to fly departure test.
If fully vaccinated with NHS certificate you will also need a Day 2 PCR test
If not vaccinated by the U.K. you need a Day 2 & Day 8 test and need to isolate
Not forgetting to fill out a passenger locator form

72 hours before you leave Spain you need to have an antigen test , that’s the one you can get at a local farmacia/clinic. Because you’re fully U.K. vaccinated you need to take a Day 2 test when you arrive back in the U.K. So for instance if you land back in the U.K. on a Saturday, that’s classed as Day 0, Your first full day back is Sunday Day 1 , so you’d need to take your test on the Monday (Day 2).
This Day 2 test needs to be ordered and paid for from a U.K. companybefore you leave Spain. The company you choose to get the test from, will give you a reference code. This code needs to be put on the passenger locator form . It’s only then that the form can be finalised and the locator form will generate a QR code for you to show at Border Control.
