Hi,

Can anyone point us in the right direction; we are due to make our first visit back to Villamartin since Covid, we understand a PCR test is required three days before returning to the UK, does anyone know where the most local place would be?

Many thanks

Dan

Hi there. DAM Health at La Regia (Cabo Roig) is around 10 min. drive away. You have to book online - if you’re going back to England, an antigen test is all you need for fit to fly test.

Enjoy your trip. Jackie x

Hi

Don't make my mistake.  I fly on Monday and it is fiesta holiday Friday and Saturday. DAM are saying they have had a flood and at present are not taking bookings.  The chemists cannot do it due to fiestas hols so my only option (hopefully) is IMED at habaneras.  I don't have a car but went there yesterday by bus and walking only to be told can only book on line but you can just turn up, that is worrying because a lot of people might turn up.  Was considering changing flight.

You have probably left it too late for a lot of places.  
But can always book in for a test at the airport.

Friday is only a local fiesta , so unsure which places will be closed.

If anyone knows which municipalities are having  having a blue day and those who aren’t maybe we can point in the right direction.

Guardamar is it having a fiesta day, but I know the farmacia  on El Raso is fully booked for the next   2 weeks or so.

Hi,

   I just had a quick look on-line at IMED Torrevieja, they have plenty of slots available on Sunday afternoon (18th) for the antigen test. I had my test there a few weeks ago on a Sunday, there was a long queue waiting to book and pay so I would recommend you book on-lie, then you can walk straight in at your appointed time.

Aitch.
