We desperately want to visit our holiday home in Camposol A but are confused about the tests needed, specifically the pre-flight test in uk.

The costs of the tests are also a deciding factor.

Sorry if this has already been covered in other messages

Hi, you don't need any test to board the plane in the UK to fly to Spain or to access Spain.  You do need to present a negative test before boarding to fly back and also PCR tests done on days 2 and 8 for an Amber country or Day 2 only if Spain were to go to a Green country.  Hope this helps.

You can get an antigen test in Spain which is acceptable to fly back and cheaper than pcr. The farmacia in Isla plana charge €30 and medical centre on A camposol charge €40. Best to make an appointment as I'm sure they will now be getting busy.

Hi, very useful, thank you. Would you know of anywhere nearer Bullas/Mula/Calasparra that does the 'fly back' antigen test? Thanks again.

No sorry. Try contacting farmacias directly in those areas.

You can get an antigen test for €20 in Murcia. Just past Ikea. I done mine this morning. You can book on line, lots of time slots.
