We are just back in the UK from Mojacar. We had the Antigen test at the Clinic under the Pharmacy by the Unicaja Bank on Thursday, the day before we left. No appointment is necessary, just turn up, preferably between 09.30 and 12-30 and the result is ready for collection after about 30 minutes. It costs €50 and they prefer cash to a card. We understand the clinic opposite the bullring in Vera, where the cost is €40.00, requires an appointment. At Santander, we joined the long queue of people to see the team of Brittany Ferries staff appointed to help those whose Passenger Locator Form would not complete properly. They helped us fake it, to get on the boat. The hassle was at the UK end of the journey. It took an hour and five minutes from driving off the boat to passport control, nobody asked us for any evidence of tests but the covid police telephoned us yesterday and today to check that we are at the address stated for the quarantine period. The pre-ordered PCR self-tests are required before Day 2 and then on Day 8 after arrival and they are ridiculously expensive!
