Good morning.

i am flying back to the UK and need to book an Antigen test for tomorrow or Thursday. I rang the popular one in Vera and they cannot get me in until next week.

Any ideas as I believe there may be a couple places in Mojacar that I could book with that will accommodate short notice. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Danny

Try the clinic underneath the pharmacist next to the Unicaja Bank between the Parque Comercial and the Parador.  No appointment necessary between 09.30 and 12.30, costs €50.  Results ready in about half-an hour.

Thank you for responding quickly. I will pop in tomorrow. Do they speak English too?

I had the Antigen test last week before I returned to UK and got that from Mojacar (Pharmacia) as recommended earlier in this topic. It cost me €50 and no appointment needed, just turn up with your passport and money! There are other places that were cheaper at €40, but you needed to pre book your appointment well in advance, for which I could not.

Hope the helps

Hi

You will only need an antigen test 40 or 50 euros from pharmacy in Mojacar or medical centre in vera.

The PCR test you need to have on day 2 when you arrive back in the UK this is more expensive and you need to book this day 2 test before you arrive in the UK as the reference number needs to go on your passenger locator form.

We booked our from 123tests.co.uk from Government website and cost us 75 each.

Hope this helps ! 

Enjoy your holiday !

Tracey
