Hi Archie. That is the key question. I am told that 10 days after registering a positive OCR test on the NHS Covid19 app, your records update so that you can download a Covid pass and QR code, in exactly the same way as you would after being fully vaccinated.

We haven't tested this yet because the 10 days have not elapsed. But even then, my son will not know if this is acceptable until he arrives at the airport. That's not ideal, and it's the reason why I'd really love to hear from someone who is unvaccinated, who has actually entered Spain recently using proof of recovery, rather than proof of vaccination. But I just can't find anyone who has had first hand experience.
It is sounding positive overall Lee, although I agree if we could hear from an unvaccinated person who has been through the process it would be significantly more reassuring.
I am in a similar situation to you although I am not traveling until June so I am hoping the Spanish may relax these restrictions by then anyway.
Could you clarify the following:
So as I understand it you need both a QR code obtained by providing a positive antigen test and a positive covid test?
But if you also need a Positive PCR test doesn't that require your son to have covid currently or when you take the test (in order to get a positive result) rather than have recovered yet still have antigens?
Second question is assuming the QR code is acceptable if obtained several weeks before travelling then how soon before you travel do you need the additional positive PCR result?
