It’s not (yet) travelling outside of Spain that requires a Covid test, it’s when you are arriving into Spain via plane or ferry.

Hello

Yes you will!. You can fly out of Spain without a test but when you return you must get a test  taken 72hrs before you arrive back in Spain .

Cheers

But it is irresponsible to enter the confines of an airport/aircraft without taking reasonable care to establish that you aren't a Covid spreader.

Agree.

We had ours at IMED before we flew. Back in UK now (Birmingham) - mask discipline is appalling. Some people are't even wearing them on public transport.

We had more PCRs in B'ham on Sunday morning - received negative results yesterday. 

Birmingham is a threat to us ... not the other way round.
