What sort of Covid test do I need to board a Ryanair flight from Spain to England?

Yes, I decided to go for a lateral flow test. It cost €30 and gave me a negative result in fifteen minutes. At Malaga airport, Ryanair boarding gate staff glanced at the certificate but did not read it. At the destination, passport staff did not want to see anything except my passport. They said my certificate was already in their database (really?).

By the way, when filling in my UK Passenger Locator form, when I selected Spain as my origin, a question popped up asking whether I had been to any Spanish islands. I selected NO, so I don't know what the consequences of having been on an island might be.

I looked into extensively as I will be returning to UK from Spain later this month. I can confirm that lateral flow test is acceptable to enter uk. The government would prefer and advise that you use a pcr test but the regulations do not require a pcr test. This has been widely discussed in the British press. I strongly advise that you only rely on info on the gov.uk site. Many newspaper articles are incorrect or only tell half the story. Note by the way that the test can actually be taken in the 3 days before the day on which plan to depart for UK. LFD tests are available for 32 euros in Granada and if you look around you should see similar prices elsewhere
