Need for a PCR test....

Hope you can help. I will be in Santiago de la Ribera in July and wondered where i

 can get a covid test for travel back to Scotland.

Thank you Moyra

Hi Moyra,

As we don’t know exactly what will be required come July I think it would be better to ask your question in July......for example the vaccination passport may be in operation by then and if so then you may not require a PCR test to fly back to Scotland.....

Please ask again nearer the time when you are going to fly and I will help in any way I can then.

Hi Moyra,

As promised here’s an update about where you can get a test (if still required when you return to Scotland).

You can book or walk in for a test at the Centre Medico, Virgin de la Caridad, San Javier...it is just off the central square opposite the Spar (Pardo) supermarket. We booked ours today, we were one of 5 or 6 couples there doing the same thing. Just ask for a lateral flow test, the receptionist will ask you for the date of travel and then suggest an appointment date and time. You will pay the fee which I believe is €30 on the day of the test.

Update - I read somewhere today that tests to enter Scotland might be different from those required for England so please do some further research on the UKGov website….

Good luck…..
