i dont think it has to be a PCR, an antigen test will do, Malaga Airport has a test facility, the antigen test with certificate is 24 euros.

Hi
I gather from a report in the Olive press Newspaper recently , at times the Test Center at Malaga Airport is fully booked and Passengers are being refused boarding of Aircraft due lack of this test. thereof.
I suggest taking a private test just to be on the safe side.
Good Luck

Malaga airport antigen test cheapest and easy but you must book beforehand. They are getting very busy won’t make any allowances if they are full that day. Your test results are checked before checking in luggage or at the gate if you haven’t checked in luggage.
dint forget to order your 2&8 test as you need the reference number for your Gov locator form -again you cannot get on the plane without this

You dont need a PCR test, you can get an Antigen/lateral flow test at Malaga airport for £22, I did it two weeks ago with no problems , this is a link you get a result in about 15 minutes, https://www.malagacar.com/blog/news/covid-test-centre-malaga-airport/

Don't know St Pedro but you don't need a PCR ..... antigen flow test is OK and a lot cheaper,
Read this carefully!
Type of test
You must make sure that the test provider you choose can meet the standards for pre-departure testing.
The test must meet performance standards of ≥97% specificity, ≥80% sensitivity at viral loads above 100,000 copies/ml.
This could include tests such as:
It’s your responsibility to ensure the test meets the minimum standards for sensitivity, specificity and viral load details. You must check with your test provider that it meets those standards.
You may not be able to travel if the test does not meet these standards. It’s your responsibility to ensure you get the right test that meets the above requirements.
Information that the test result must includeYour test result must be in either English, French or Spanish. Translations will not be accepted.
You must provide the original test result notification. It must include the following information:
If the test result does not include this information you may not be able to board, and may not be able to travel to England. If you arrive without a test result that includes this information, you might have to pay a £500 fine.
Positive test resultsIf your test result is positive, you must not travel. You must follow local rules and guidance for positive coronavirus cases.
If the result is inconclusive, you must take another test.
British nationals who need consular assistance should contact the nearest consulate, embassy or high commission.
Testing and quarantine after you arrive in England
