Hi All , We are looking to drive or fly to Spain and visit Arboleas for about a 30 days stay, we have both had our 2 covid jabs over 4 weeks ago, what are the requirements for our travel to Spain after July 19th 2021 and returning to the UK about 30 days later .

Our concerns are as follows:- What tests, where can we get a test near Arboleas and Costs prior to our travel back to the UK 

1. What test or Jabs is required from us to enter Spain

2. What test is required from us to enter the UK returning from Spain

3. Where to get a test near Arboleas and cost and what tests are accepted to travel back to the UK from Spain

Any advise or help regarding the above would be really appreciated

Cheers Gaz

As you may no doubt be aware by now you won’t be subject to any restrictions when returning to the UK after 19th July. Proof of the 2 jabs being the only requirement. Subscribe to “HuffPost UK” for real news and comment.

No quarantine, but still need a test before flying back to uk and a day two test after arrival in uk.

Thanks for the info , yes it seems that's all you require to enter Spain but returning to the UK afterwards is the uncertainty, i.e... the cost of test and what test are acceptable and where to get them in or near Arboleas, and what's required on the return to the UK from the UK Government?

Someone told me I can get one from Vera at the bullring for 40 euros. I can’t wait to go having not been for 18 months. And 3 of my friends have bought villa’s and only been once

I’m sure this will be updated for the rules after 19th July, but basically if you’ve been double jabbed by the NHS, you will follow the green country rules, even if Spain is still amber at that point.

Hi guys.  I have a flight booked to Murcia on 24 July with EasyJet. I’m a Spanish Resident so only had 1 jab. I can’t find a definitive answer about what test I need to enter Spain 

Has anyone done this journey …. As far as I can tell I need a test within 48 hours of arriving in Spain. However, a full PCR test result takes up to 48 hours… am I missing something here????
