From 04.00am on Tuesday 7 December, all travellers to the UK aged 12 and over need to provide proof of a negative PCR or 'lateral flow' test pre-departure test taken in the 48 hours before they travel, regardless of vaccination status.

BTW Don't forget you need to book a PCR second day test in England before you leave Spain.

You don't need a PCR test - you can have an antigen test i.e. Lateral Flow (which is much cheaper) from a recognised medical centre.
You then have to have a PCR test within 2 days after arriving in the UK.
We flew back from Spain to the UK yesterday and it all worked fine with a lateral flow test

Type of test
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:
You must check with your test provider that the test meets the standards. You may not be able to travel if it does not.
