You need a 'fit to fly' test before you leave to enter on your UK passenger locator form. This does not need to be PCR. It can be a lateral flow which is cheaper.

You also need to prove you have booked PCR tests for days 2 and 8 in the UK.

Red, amber and green list rules for entering England - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

I think they are flying IN to Spain not the other way, so no test required to enter Spain.

As said by Pinkshami, not test required. Copied this from Ryanair's website. 

From 24th May, travellers from UK can freely enter Spain for non-essential purposes and stay in Spain without a visa for a maximum period of 90 days within 6 months. Travelers Will NOT need to present negative COVID-19 test certificate, as long as they have remained in the UK in the last 14 days. It is mandatory for all residents in the UK travelling to Spain (including children of all ages) to fill in a Health Control Form (FCS).
