Hi does anyone know if I have to have a test in Spain before I fly back home.
Coming out to sort my villa out on the 26 th June for two weeks, I have sorted out my test for when I go back to UK for isolation, not sure if I need one from a chemist in Spain before I fly.
Thanks
Lesley

Yes, you do need a negative test before flying. Not a PCR, though, an antigen test will do that. You can get one done at El Raso pharmacy, Clinica La Siesta or several other places for about €40.
You also need to arrange two tests in UK (one and day 2 and one on day 8) during your 10 day self isolation.
The company to do these tests must be a government approved one.

Yes you will need to book, if you call in at the farmacia in El Raso they will book you in on the relevant day. Obviously you will need to take your passport with you to complete the paperwork.
