Hi all, my daughter is travelling to Moraira next week for 10 days. We are clear on requirements to get into Spain, and the 2&8 day tests on return to the UK. We do need help on where she could obtain the test she needs to gain entry back into the UK. A lot of people on here suggesting Dam Health which looks good - except the location is a trek for her and she'll need to use a taxi. Is anyone aware of reputable providers close to Moraira that will offer a test that complies with UK entry requirements (PCR or antigen test).

Also - I saw mention of the Ryanair discount code for the tests on day 2&8 but couldn't see it in the thread if anyone has that?

Thanks!

We’ve used IMED Teulada in last couple of weeks, 40 euro for antigen test. Very quick and efficient service with test result emailed within 10 minutes of test.

I used Clinic Asistel. They were ok but comms were slow so probably better to go in and book rather than manage it by email.

As far as I can ascertain, PCR is required, not antigen so that means €120 instead of €40 as the “fit to fly”.  The test you need to get back into the uk ( in my case, Wales) costs £170.00 and you have to show proof of the booking before you can board. All this from the Welsh government website. Frankly I’m appalled but this is the address given to book it:  The company is called CTM and you can find it on the Gov.wales website. There will be a link to the CTM booking portal. Good luck. I hope you’re rich!

Appreciate the response. gov.co.uk website says antigen/lateral flow for England is ok I think.

PCR test is NOT required. I had antigen test at IMED Teulada 40 euro, no issues getting back into UK on 20th June.
