My daughter is going to Los Gallardos on friday 1st october to the Monday 4th. Please can someone tell me where to get a PCR for the return flight. Bearing in mind it's a weekend. Thanks

Hi, 

At the moment, all that is required to return to uk is negative antigen test. (Not as expensive as PCR) We had ours done this morning at the pharmacy mojacar playa, down ramp.  no appointment needed, just turn up, with passport, cost 50 euros pp...  9-12 noon 5-7pm Mon-Fri... 9-12 noon Saturday's. Results took 45min.  100m past spanish property choice estate agents by mojacar commercial centre. Easy wait in koi cafe for results. 

Check certificate when collect results for spelling mistakes! 

Alternatively EV medical @ Vera -  never been myself, think it may be a bit cheaper though I think you have to book appointment.

Although UK GOVT say can be done 72hrs before departure, the pharmacist said he would only test those travelling within next 48hours...

Hi Julie. 

Good info. A couple of questions. Do you get a reference to put on your PLF (I guess you must) and did you buy a standalone PCR test for your test 2 days after your return to the UK? We're coming over in a couple of weeks and it's possible that the testing procedure will change so we don't want to pay an arm and a leg now for kits we might not need. TÍA.

Hi, Yes as fully vaccinated, we had to purchase the day 2 pcr test kits to complete on return to uk. 

As we're flying with easy jet, we went through them and bought 2 kits from Randox. Prompt delivery from them to our uk address before flying to spain.  Randox sent us an email to confirm purchase and provided us with 2 kit reference numbers to input on passenger locator form.  So, keep a copy of your email !
