Hi Amanda,
The changes to travel rules are effective from 4am on Monday, 4 October. In any event, there are no changes to the rules for entering Spain - so long as you are double-vaccinated, you do not need a test to enter Spain, as you say, you just need to complete the Spanish Health Form within 48 hours of your departure from the UK and bring proof of being double-vaccinated.
As you'll be returning to the UK after 4 October and assuming, again, that you're double-vaccinated, you no longer need to take a pre-departure test in Spain. Also, the Day 2 test, which you need to pre-purchase and put the reference number of your Passenger Locator Form, no longer needs to be the more expensive PCR test, a lateral flow/antigen test will be sufficient.
Kind regards,
Kim
