I know these are long established https://www.synlab.com/lab/36991

It states RNA DIAGNOSTIC is a laboratory-based in Estepona but with a Marbella address?

Also does anyone coming out New Year know if it's a PCR or Antigen Test when returning to UK. Its so confusing.

From 04.00am on Tuesday 7 December, all travellers to the UK aged 12 and over provide proof of a negative PCR or lateral flow pre-departure test taken in the 48 hours before they travel, regardless of vaccination status.

Hi. Can you or anyone reading this advise me where we can get tested in Benalmadena? We aren’t actually arriving until March but if pre flight tests are still required we would need to have within the 48 hours before the 28th March so will need to have it on a Saturday and results by early morning on the Monday. Can they be bought and tested in pharmacy?

Hi

We’re a bit in the same position as we are due to fly home at 11.00 am on the 26th December, bought a lateral flow test to do in the villa but won’t be able to get the certificate back in time as they close at midday on Christmas Eve and obviously closed Christmas Day so looks like we’ll have to cancel

Can you not ask to have it back before they close at midday on the 24th December? I’m hoping there are pharmacies or clinics that will do tests or alternatively take one with you from home? Check and see if online test results are available on the 24th. Hopefully if this isn’t possible you’re airline or insurance will get you refund 🤞

Hi David,

I receive my PCR antigen test at RV Clinic Benalmadena before leaving in November.

They have good hours, I arrived 6pm without an appointment (on their request), and was in and out within 15 minutes costing 74 euros.

They said it could take up to 4hours for the result to arrive by email, so I walked home in 20 minutes, opened my computer and it already emailed.

They are conveniently located a few minutes walk from the train station in Arroyo de la Miel.
