Hi - I am due to fly to Fuerte on 12/12 and have had a difficult time trying to book a test within the 72hrs arrival time. Private clinics near me in UK are all booked up but I have finally managed to buy a PCR test that gives lab results within 24/48hrs. This still means I won't get the results until the day before I fly and then you have to complete the spanish health declaration form and have your QR code with you on arrival in Fuerte.
Finding it a bit stressful tbh... Good luck !

We have searched high and low for walk in clinic options but unless u live in London area it’s very hard and will cost £500 for both of us as we can’t risk doing at home test ..what if it’s inconclusive and needs re test .. no guarantee it will be there in time even so.....it isn’t worth the stress ...I d rather lose the deposit than pay even more and still be no further forward . It is not encouraging the tourist uptake and they will realise too late . Why can’t airports set up testing centres as they have in Gatwick already..Great idea and so sensible to be on site .
Tragically having to cancel now

For those flying with Jet2, you can arrange a test through them. Contact Jet 2 , four weeks prior to flight. I think it’s about £75 or just a bit more

I applied online and the test kit arrived the next morning, I did my test the next day which give me 72 hours to get the result back, I sent it of at 11.30 and now just waiting for the result.
