So looking at the spanish travel site today am i correct in thinking that the UK is now not on the list of at risk countries so therefor we now do not need a negative covid test 72 hours before travel?
<Broken link removed> and Spanish travel site here the PDF is dated from today 30/11 till 13/12 for info. I have probably misread it as this seems to differ from what is on the UK gov site.

Just arrived in Santander today, parked up at Somoparque.
At Portsmouth they asked to see my negative test results to get onto ferry at the custom booth.
Prior to getting off the ferry at Santander, Spanish came on board and took temperature test and asked for the paper form FCS inglés_barco_V3, which they took away in a carrier bag.
Normal passport control and no one asked for my Covid free test certificate on entry to Spain.
At no point did any customs official check the vehicle either side.
I did two tests ordered online with Randox and both emailed back with certificate attached with passport number within 24 hours. Cost £120 each.
I sent the first test off from Exeter on Saturday morning from DX couriers for the ferry and the other Monday morning for entry into Spain. I had the result for the last test emailed to me on Tuesday afternoon.
Hope this helps.
