We are hoping to finally come to Spain and finalise the purchase of our property in Palomares. We will need to have a covid test before we return back to the UK, does anyone know where and how much we can get one please. 

We have both been vaccinated with both jabs, so all raring to go. 

Thank you

I have been told the following. The price they are not sure about but definitely where you can get the test. If you do find out a definite price could you let me know please. 

You can get a valid for travel covid test in Vera, private medical centre near bullring, think it is around 60 to 100 euros.

Hi MRM

If you find out about the covid test in Vera could you let me know how it all works. As I am over there at the end of the month and will need to get a test to come back. Also do you know if there is any car hire places in Mojacar or Palomares please.

Hi Stephanie and MRM

The medical centre in Vera you refer to is EV Medical and it is located near to the bullring.  We went there earlier in the year prior to a return trip to the UK.  Antigen test only required, not full PCR.  Cost was 40€ each. It was a very quick test with printed results in approx 20 mins.  Very pleasant and efficient staff.  An appointment is required.  Hope this helps.

Hi, you do not need a pcr test to fly back to the UK, just an Antigen test. Cost is 40 euros at Vera Medical opposite the bullring. I called in there yesterday and they said bookings can be made over the phone and only 24 hours in advance of when you need to test. Whole process takes 30mins including paperwork.
