We are hoping to fly to Almeria and stay in Roquetas in July. We will need to have a private COVID PCR test 3 days before returning to the UK. Can I get this done in Roquetas?

Yes we are flying back to the Uk. Current advice is that we need to have an ‘official’ COVID test 3 days before travel.

That is correct. PCR or antigen. Antigen much cheaper and quicker. It was mentioned on a previous post that the chemist op LA GRAPPA Italian restaurant does them in the urbanization.

Thanks, that’s very useful to know. This chemist is close to our apartment in the urbanisation.

Is the antigen test sufficient?  Heard it has to be a PCR test?

This is the Laboratorio in Roquetas Urba where they do an antigen test for €25 cash, results in 15 mins. You need an appointment, take passport, ensure your DOB is on the test result.

The Lab is opposite Playa Linda hotel on Avenida de Plata Serena.
