Hi all 

I am off Spain soon from the UK and I understand there is no concerns about entering Spain (test wise). On the way back though, I need a PCR test. Does anyone know where I can get this done at short notice as only going there for a few days? Anywhere orba, tormos, sagra adsubia areas etc is fine. Thank you so much

Hi Maria

To return to the U.K., an antigen test is just fine 

Most private clinics and hospitals, plus some large pharmacies. I’d suggest sussing one out as soon as you arrive, book an appointment, and check out how long after the test you get the results.

I had mine at our local IMED hospital, €40 and results by email in less than 10 minutes 🤪🥂

As stated, currently an Antigen test is sufficient for entry and these are available at Imed Hospitals for 40€ with quick results.

For the day 2 and 8 day tests I can highly recommend a company called Testing For All found on gov.uk list. They were cheapest as they are a not for profit organisation. Total cost for my husband and I was £204 including tracked next day delivery with DPD.  You must pre-book as you need the booking ref to put on your passenger locator form for re-entering the uk.  Go online ahead of time and book for the day you fly home, they then despatch so you receive it the day after you land.

Sharon
