Could anyone confirm to me whether this can be done at the clinic at San Javier and if so what is the cost?  Are these tests done only for adults or should under 18s also take them?

I don't believe they do it in the health centre clinics. The place in San Javier is Virgin La Caridad medical centre and, I believe, the cost is €30 . not sure about the age requirements but the UK Gov site should clarify thatl for you, Good luck

The info should be on the Gov.uk website. Unless I has changed I think children aged 5 -17 have to have a test before flying to UK and as per adults ,a test on day 2 after arrival. I have a test booked in Los Alcazares 3 days before my August flight, I would advise booking well in advance as when I was there,several UK citizens were booking their tests.

I recently flew back to UK and I paid just for the Antigen the day before the flight (£38). Was not a problem, just make sure to keep the paper copy with you as my airline at least wanted to see the paper copy rather than digital.

And proof of booking a test when you got back? 

Is this part checked on arrival in UK or before leaving Spain.

Getting into UK

  1. Complete the online form - UK Form - Hit the start now at bottom of page - NHS registration - 'Public Health Passenger Locator Form'.
  2. Book the 2 day and 10 day tests (I did antigens rather than full (and costly PCR's)

Proof of UK test booked (2 and 10 day) wasn't actually asked for by Ryan air but you do have to input that info into the locator form. They won't stop you at airport but you'll get calls from NHS to confirm you are doing what you are meant to be.

Coming back to Spain (if doing so)

  1. Fill in the form online ( Spain Form ) and keep a digital copy. 
  2. You'll get a QR code - Keep it and also screenshot for safe keeping.

At the airport, after customs, there will be people who will just scan it on way past. Thats it.
