Hi everyone, looking for some help please. We are looking to travel to our holiday home in Lorca on the 10th August and shall be staying till the 30th August. As part of the travel rules to return to the UK we require either a PCR test or a suitable antigen test which meets the UK guidelines 3 days before flying back. Can anybody help by letting us know where we can get a suitable test done please. Thank you in advance

A friend went to this place last week in Aguilas. They do the tests between 8.30-10.30, then process them by lunchtime. Pcr was €100.

It was accepted for entry to the uk , they are not open on Saturday and Sunday,  you will still have to have the 2 day test after entering the UK
