In England they area doing the new type of Covid 19 test for entering Spain called TMA ( Transcription- Mediated Amplification) at some larger Airports with results in 2 hours or less and cheaper than a PCR Test so it may be worth checking if they are doing these at Alicante or Corvera Airports, don't forget you will still need to quarantine in the UK even with a negative test which I believe is still 14 days but they have been discussing reducing it to 5 days.

Thanks, not sure if they will accept covid test if not pcr, had one at Gatwick before flying over, isolating not a problem, as that’s all I am doing at moment here bystaying clear off most people as on my own so not a problem. But really need to find out before the 18th, what test is required and where to get it nearer than Alicante airport

Grant Shapps Transport Secretary said on BBC News an hour ago that the TMA test is acceptable as is the PCR test check Gov.uk to confirm what's required and good luck.

That's great news and local, hope you have a good trip & keep safe.
And a brilliant price compared to the UK ripoff prices of up to £200.
