Could someone please clarify for me, the PCR test required to enter spain, is the 'within 72 hours' before arrival at departure point, or for arrival in spain?

I paid for our tests 90 euro yes they must be within 72 hours of entry .. l drove from Germany through France to Spain with all my paperwork and guess what l was not once controlled on any border .. could have saved that money .. or with my luck if l had tried to enter without .They would have got me :-)

It is the antigen test only. 🙂

Yes, you can get a Covid Antigen test for travel to the UK costing €39 or €40 in most areas. I was told to go to El Raso by someone who had it done there but I went to DAM Health in Alicante city centre as it was more convenient for me.

That's great, thank you. We used Imed last time but paid for a full PCR at 120 euros, so knowing we only need the antigen is good
