Hi 

Hope everyone is safe and well !

Coming to villamartin beginning of august ! I’m aware things could change before this date BUT ......., how many tests are needed in amber to travel to Alicante from the UK and return .

1 x test to leave the uk stansted and 1 x test from Alicante to stansted return and one test on day 2 and 8 ????

I understand they have to be PCR tests.

Any help or experiences would be helpful

Thank you

Hi Rob firstly you do not need any tests to enter Spain which is a bonus you just need to do a Spanish locator form then you get a qr code for your phone or you can print off  on your return Journey as of today you can have a lateral flow test which you book online at DAM Cabo Roig cost €39.99 before you fly (take your passport ) then you also need to book your Day 2 and Day 8 tests again for U.K. before you return as you need to input the reference number from test  you will need to do a U.K. locator form as well keep your eye on news as things  could change ie if double vaccinated but not yet ,things very safe Costa Blanca I’m in VillaMartin very quite but picking up keep asking questions there are a lot of people on here who will help all the best Marcus

Hi Rob1970

We have just returned after being out for 9 days, basically seconding Marcus F statement, we used Randox Health for our day 2 & 8 tests with discount code from Ryanair they worked out at £86.00, the Dam Health Antigen was €39.00 booked online very easy.

Regards

Andrew

HI Rob1970

You can get taxis from the airport not sure about buses but I dont see why not, we always hire a car as the cost is comparable to a taxis if your there for a week, I am looking at purchasing a car now as we are going to be spending 5-6 months of the year in Spain plus the children will use it when they come out.

I would suggest hiring a car depending where you are in Villamartin deffo easier than relying on buses and taxis.

Regards

Andrew

Hi Rob sorry to be the bearer of bad news today the Spanish Government in the next 72 hours will be insisting of a test nothing has been said if it’s a PCR or Lateral flow test to enter Spain if you have had both your vaccinations your fine to travel just need to show proof which I assume could be done by NHS App cheers Marcus
