You are more than welcome 

We are desperate to fly to uk to see family. We are able as we have residencia here to get back but the pcr tests are so expensive and dont fancy isolating in a hotel room.

We have heard we will have our covid jab here next week 

UK Govt are deliberately making the process complicated so they can say travel has reopened, but not in reality. I just called RANDOX. If you go on line and put the D2 + D8 Kit in it comes up £175. Add the code RYAND2821 and price reduced to £120. As for your 10 days quarantine that can be at a private address no need to be a hotel I think?

It's still so difficult. I dont think I would put myself through 2 weeks in Hotel Quarantine. Thats not fun. Thanks for the tip re the Isla Plana Farmacia we will use that.

We are in the same situation as you but are unable to travel until July due to School holidays - it looks like the restrictions maybe lifted by then to allow "test free" travel.

Hi we had our test at the pharmacia in Isla Plana for our return to the uk with Brittany ferries via Santander 2 weeks ago. The test cost €30 euros per person and we waited about 10 to 15 minutes for the results. You should call and make an appointment first. Hope this helps.

Check UK still takes antigen test 

To translate into ENGLISH right click mouse

This is Murcia venue but they have other venues check out

Go onto the website in chrome browser and then right-click the mouse and click translate to English 

Cost me under £18

I have had my test 20 euros at the end of January and my husband end March 2021 for rapid antigen test (waited 5 mins collect on day) 

Meets more than governments rates 

It is 

For the antigen test 

The test has a sensitivity of 95.4% (our government's requirement 80%)

and a specificity of 100% (our government's requirement 97%)

with accuracy of 98.91%

https://cardiosalus.com/prueba-covid-murcia/ 

Easy to book online a test with lots of times to choose from. 

Once I have landed in the UK and got through with this test will let you know all OK

back in uk ok

Yes went from Alicante airport at the checking in desk they wrote in the boarding pass.  PCR Ok

At Gatwick airport at border control checked my antigen test and let me through and my husband for the same test 2 months later

So the 20 euro (£17.29) antigen test worked. All ok 

DO NOT OVER PAY for PCR test
