If you put that question into google it will bring up nearest place for you. Rather than wait for a reply in case no one knows.
We found that IMed was easiest and cheapest. It’s near Havaneras centre so you can even get the bus if you’re not driving. Taxi quite reasonable and there’s a rank opposite for return journey. I think it’s 40€ at the moment for Antigen test. Book online to go straight in. Walk ins have a long queue.

I’ve not heard of any centro de Salud doing them for travel; only private clinics and farmacias that I’m aware of.

The farmacias have to be registered/licensed as a laboratory. Nobody seems to have mentioned La Mata at all. But then if this is your local and you know the name of the farmacia either message them or call in to ask. Not only will you get your answer but you’ll be helping others as well as we can add them to the extensive list.
None of the saluds will do the test as they have to be done privately and only a few farmacias are registered. Plus you cannot use the self tests from the farmacia as you need to produce fit to fly certificate to enable you to fly.

Hi I’m flying to Alicante in a couple of weeks and I’ve booked a pharmacy near Guardamar as there doesn’t seem to be one that does them in la Mata. A forum member recommended el raso Guardamar and I found them on Facebook and messaged them and they booked me in and said it €40. Hopefully it’ll all go well . Farmacia El Raso https://www.google.com/search?q=el%20raso%20pharmacy&tbm=I hope this link works
