After calling multiple places, culminating in a call to AENA, I have found out:
If you arrive and you go through a covid test and it turns out positive, depending on the area you are at, you may be subjected from 0 to 5 days of confinement at the place you were going to stay. No deporting, or staying at the airport or anything like that.
I wish I had more information than a phone call, including some quotes, but the fact is, this information is nowhere online that I could find after many many many hours of searching.

The official website of spain isn't that clear, when it is about arrival in spain with a positive test.
According to the travel advise website of the UK:
If you have symptoms or test positive for COVID-19 during your stay in Spain, you are not required to self-isolate but you should inform direct contacts and take the following extra precautionary measures for 10 days from diagnosis or from when symptoms began:
- wear a mask
- reduce social interactions and avoid crowded spaces & large events
- avoid contact with people at high risk (including older people, people with health conditions and pregnant women)
The department of foreign affairs of ireland writes a similar statement and offers easy to see dates, when this information was updated (03.08.2022) .
If you test positive for COVID-19 while on holiday in Spain, you may be required to isolate in line with local health requirements. Please note that not all regions of Spain have dedicated quarantine hotels or facilities for those who test positive for COVID-19, and you may need to contact your accommodation provider to arrange to extend your stay. Costs incurred from extending your stay in Spain are at the travellerβs own expense. As such, you are strongly advised to ensure that your insurance policy provides adequate cover in the event that you need to extend your stay in Spain due to a positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
