You need to provide the reference number for the Day 2 test booking (above) on this form. After you've submitted this, you will receive a copy of the form via email, which also contains a QR code, which will generally be what is checked at the airport.You don't need to take a test in Spain before you leave.

Hi yes you can. My daughter ordered hers whilst here before flying back to uk and it was delivered before she got home. You don't need to post result back just take photo of result and email

I believe there is no test leaving Spain, but a pre booked PCR test on day 2 arrival and a completed locator form...

Hi, with the new rules coming in on Tuesday, does anyone know how i / where I can get a lateral flow test done in Los Alcazares? I fly on Thursday, I know Monday and Wednesday are bank holidays, so will clinics / pharmacies still be open? Can I go to the Biblioteca which seems to be a Covid drop in centre? Thanks
