Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has/is planning to travel back to to the UK following the rules changing re: testing on Friday 6th August 2021? Is an antigen test still OK? Or is PCR now essential?

Any recommendations of where to get one of these test in Moraira?

I have used IMED in Teulada. Booked the antigen test on line, results in about 10 minutes and certificate emailed. Very efficient service. It was €40.

Thanks so much! How far in advance did you have to book?
