The only thing I have seen to date is the requirement of a negative pct test on entry to Spain. 

Do you need to have a PCT Certificate to go from Spain to the UK?

Hello

It's a PCR test ...... currently it is not required for entry to the UK though you do have to self isolate in UK.

 It will be necessary to have a negative test 

 for entry back to Spain & it must be taken 72hours prior to your arrival in Spain to be valid.

Cheers

I haven’t seen any requirement for a vaccination certificate yet for entry to Spain? Surely too premature when vaccination has barely started in the entire world?

I wonder just how they will do this though. A piece of paper is easily copied, so there's room for mass duplication. QR codes can be screenshot and shared etc.

Its going to be difficult to prove or disprove who's had a vaccine shot and I say this as someone happy to get vaccinated at earliest opportunity.

Gatwick Airport, they have a drive through £60 for the test and results plus certificate emailed to you the following day.

Quite right. It was for flying FROM Spain to the UK not the other way round. I think it is just a case of 14 days self-isolation but I was not sure if anything else was needed.
