What would be good is a pre negotiated set of test centres in portugal at a good negotiated price so people can book their return test before they travel - provides surety of test and getting the results in time for the return flight and gives a guarantee of what the cost will be . If portugsl really wants British tourists , they should provide free testing ( just like they do in France )
