 I can highly recommend the Covid test centre at Malaga airport. To return to England, you don't need a PCR test, a rapid antigen test will suffice, which costs 25 Euros. I'd recommend you book a slot well in advance. The test centre is situated in the original part of the airport and you get your results in 5-20 minutes (ours took 10 mins). The test result and Covid test certificate are sent to your mobile phone or email, so you can book a test 30 minutes before your check-in time for your flight. When you get to the test centre, there are two queues, one on the right for people who have booked an appointment, and the other (a very long queue) for those who haven't booked. You can book online using this link:

Hello

Is there anywhere local to Coin that we can get a fit to fly antigen test at a good price.

They do tests in the centro de salud in coin but not sure how much they cost.  Also at clinica guadelhorce in AEG - the rapid antigen test was 46€ although a friend said they had recently put their prices up

Thanks for the info. Looking at doing the test at the airport when we go into Malaga for the day.

Yes. You can get these done in various places for around 45 to 50 euro, but i have seen on here that the airport is cheaper at €25.

We fly Saturday hopefully, Boza permitting, si i will let you know hiw we get on.

Yes the rapid antigen test will suffice to return to England.  However in the latest travel update issued by the government (5th August) they were advising that people have a PCR test.  Worth just keeping your eye on any new developments prior to your return.

Hi, 

Unfortunately the airport test centre is fully booked for the dates I require. 

Any cheap alternatives in coin, Málaga or marbella? 

Thanks

Try clinica guadalhorce in alhaurin el grande.  I think their tests are 46€.
