Hello
Can anyone tell me where to get a PCR test prior to my return to the UK please.
How does it work regarding results etc ?
Many Thanks

Hi i have used the imed centre in torrevieja near the habaneras shopping centre it costs €40 for the antigen test they email the result about 30 mins later you can make an appointment or walk in hope this helps.
Cheers
You only need and antigen test. €40 at El Raso or you can book with Eurofins at the airport and it costs €28 with your result in an hour usually. I’ve used the airport twice and provided you’ve booked, your time slot is prioritised and we were in and out within 15 minutes.

Antigen test for UK costs E29 with certificate in 10 minutes. Call for appointment. Very prompt and efficient. Near Habaneros and opposite national park.

Why do you only mention Antigen test required to leave Spain for England ? The UK Gov website asks for a PCR test to be taken in Spain before you board (followed by also a day 2 and day 8 tests. Bless them !). IS THAT WRONG ? Is it perhaps always assumed , in these conversations posted, that the person travelling is a FULLY VACCINATED individual ?

...d, that the person travelling is a FULLY VACCINATED individual ?
The government lists what types of fit to fly tests are required.
You can take a PCR test if you want to.
Most people however prefer to take the antigen tests, not only because it’s cheaper but because the results are quicker. In your case you are already having to take Day 2 and Day 8 PCR tests on your return.
See below for the list of tests to be taken in the three days before your journey
