about "long term rental contract", I understand the authorities use this formulation as a way to differentiate from holiday rental, which is ruled by different laws. So I guess a holiday rental contract might be for a few weeks whereas a long term one would be open ended, or at least valid for months if not years. If in doubt I would consult a lawyer, who could probably guide you through all the necessary steps while taking many of the chores and difficult bits off your shoulders .

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

On arriving at Alicante everything was OK. There was a bit of a queue and a jostle as they checked QR codes but they did it efficiently and the queue moved quickly. My QR code scanned on the first attempt and I was waved through, but my wife's didn't scan for some reason (even though we had filled in our forms at the same time) so they asked to see the original certificate and were fine with that.

On the way back there were no checks whatsoever.

Last time I was tested the lady in the clinic didn't want to see my ID because she "believed me" that that was my real name.

I can see lots of space for abusing the system here. The value of tests is thus diminished.

Has anybody any recent experiences on arriving at Alicante airport.

I haven't been for a while but when I was there (about a years ago) they were being quite pedantic and slow at checking everybody's COVID certification which meant, being one of the last people off the plane, I came within a hair's breadth of missing the last bus.

Are they still doing that or have they become more efficient?

Same here. We're not on the sewer because we have a septic tank and the costs of connecting to the sewer are pretty high because it's at the wrong end of our plot and we woild have to pump it uphill.

But the sewer is there so we pay for it.

Maybe one day we will connect to the sewer as the septic tank is showing signs of age and is also in the way of other plans we have. But we will deal with that when we get there.
