Travelling to Spain. Please advise re covid status

Hi my partner has booked for us to travel to hos parents next month.
My 2nd jab will have been more than 270 days ago so I believe I had the option of getting a booster 14 days or more or to do a pcr. I've now contracted covid so can't have the booster for at least 4 weeks which doesn't work out for our travel.


Please can you confirm i need to now do a pcr prior to travel and any advice who easy jet will accept?


Thankyou

    Think you just need to be double jabbed and have proof , fact you have covid now is irrelevant , but best to read the link supplied

    I was in Menorca in June, masks were (very!) compulsory on public transport and some shops.

    I have read the above link prior to posting and booking. I believe my circumstances are now different though.

    So it says if you have had 2 jabs the last one must be within the last 270 days. Mine will have been 279 days before travel. So I had the option to have the booster but it must have been a min of 14 days before travel. However as I currently have covid I cant now have a booster for a min of 4 weeks. Which wouldn't leave the 14 day gap before I travel.

    I was just wondering if anyone had suggestions of where to get a pcr or if I could do another route?

    Thankyou for reading

    in the link provided it looks like you may have 2 options
    follow the instructions for unvaccinated (as you will not have been boosted) and take an antigen test within 24 hours or travel
    or follow the "If you’ve had COVID-19 in the past year" which will require you to have had your positive test documented
