Hello everyone. We're coming out on Sat 21st for a week and are looking at the requirements to returning to the UK. Does anyone know if it's possible to get the PCR test or Antigen test done at Almeria Airport? 

I don't want to end up missing the flight home so I'm trying to get as much information before I come over. 

Thanks in advance.

Came through Almeria airport a couple of weeks ago. Didn't see any testing station or signs for one.

Sorry but no. I assume you are fully vaccinated. You can prebook an antigen or PCR test in Mojacar or Vera for 2-3 days before you fly home (3 days for PCR to allow analysis time). You will also need to prebook your 2 day test for your return to UK.

Assuming  you are double jabbed, you will need just your proof of vaccination and your passenger locator form to enter Spain. To return to the UK, you will need to book your day 2 test ( the reference number is added to your . Gov passenger locator form) and an antigen test which can be booked at EV medical  Vera (40€) or under the farmacia in Mojacar (€50). Both will give you a printed result within about half an hour. If you choose EV book early as they are very busy.

Thank you, that's really helpful. Any idea how I book for the EV antigen test?

You will need to phone. They do not respond to emails.

It’s better to go down and make the appointment. Make sure you take your passport with you. They speak English and are very helpful. Their phone number is 950393734 if you want to call them.

Ruth, as you are only coming for one week and the clinic is not open at weekends, if I were you I would ring and book the appointment now whilst you're in the UK. Only suggesting this as when I was in there waiting for my test a couple of weeks ago, people were queuing outside for a long time waiting to go in and make an appointment only to be told that they were full for the coming week.

I would book your test in  Vera the Mojacar place is dreadful  very heavy handed and rude.
