The European Parliament recently passed a motion for member states to bear the cost of PCR tests. If not, the whole project for boosting mobility will be jeopardised. Discrimination will be implied, as people who have been vaccinated - paid for by member states - will be able to travel freely, while those who have not been vaccinated will still need a PCR test and pay for it.
Viewpoint: Guess who’s not paying for tests
The World Health Organization has stated that countries should not charge for tests

Spain is notorious for having an extremely hostile tax regime hence paying for PCR should come as no surprise. Just wait until they start clawing back all the ERTE they've paid out. Unless you work for the government in shape or form you are doomed. But that's the socialist aim isn't it.
So Spain isn’t paying for the PCR tests. And, we can assume tourists will still be charged the deeply unpopular (with tourists anyway) tourist tax. While other nations are falling over themselves to try and encourage tourists to book holidays, Spanish leaders appear apathetic. This year? Really???
For people who travel frequently from country to country having not only free testing is good access to places where the testing is done is also fundamental , FRANCE is FANTASTIC for this you can get an appointment online they also test on Saturday there is No COST for this they e mail you with the result 5 hours later you can print out a Hard copy of this and you are free to travel sorry but SPAIN is Third world when it comes to testing a Joke !!! They are going to have a hard time and the light at the end of the tunnel OH that is a TRAIN .
