Hi, my husband and I need to fly home urgently. Where can we get a PCR test on 17.08.20.Is there anywhere close to Vera or surrounding area. Any help would be appreciated as we didnt expect to fly back so soon.
Regards Jan
I have read "evmedical" opposite the Bullring in Vera is where majority have PCR tests without any problems. Sorry not to have any experience of it myself so suggest you google contact info and opening hours? Good luck!

Hi. Was so easy and inexpensive.It worked exactly as they said it would. Just do it all from wherever you are.
I have ordered the tests from the website above, they arrived the following day so we will take these out with us and complete when we are out there.
I still feel I need to have an appointment for a test when we are out there too, but apparently the pharmacy said they don’t put the times on the test. So doesn’t matter if it is slightly out of the 72 hours.
I work in the travel industry and I know the PCR tests have times on, seems strange that they don’t on an antigen test.
Has anyone completed an antigen test and know if the time is stated on it?

Thanks for the above recommendation. We used EV medical in vera. They were excellent, we got a next day appointment for an antigen test. The results were ready within 15 minutes. The staff were very proffessional and spoke excellent english in compasion to my poor spanish.

From all the info I have found, including that on the Spanish health site, if you are double jabbed, you do not need any additional tests. But you must have the EU Covid passport, which is easily downloaded from Andalusia Salud app
Please double check, as I’m coming first week in September and need to do a test to fly back home to uk two days before flight and also a test on day 2 in Uk , I’m double jabbed , also need to prove double vaccination on NHS app

...ide your passport and send the company the results.They then email you yous certificate. It’s so easy.It’s uk government approved and you don’t need to go hunting for a pharmacy. Would highly recommend.
That’s exactly what I’m doing

We arrived in Almeria yesterday, if fully vaccinated you do not need a test to come to spain, but need to fill out the Spain Health Declaration (can be found on government website), also to be filled out for children.
Also, on return will need rapid antigen (cheaper then PCR) but still accepted within 72 hours of your flight back to the UK. I have a test booked on the Friday (before return flight on Monday) and also ordered some tests to complete on the Saturday in case the timings do not work out. Also need to complete PLF within 48 hours of returning

Hi Sarah, have you actually used this okay for a return from spain? Was it accepted fine on departure? Before I recommend to my parents?
Many thanks
