Hard to answer your question since you don’t say when the trip is. Entry guidelines can be found on the U.S. embassy page. I doubt you’d need a PCR test within 24 hours since the results generally take longer to come back. You may want to get one within 3 days of departure for piece of mind, or a doctor’s document saying you’ve recovered. Right now, no tests are required to enter Spain.

You don’t need a test to get into Spain. But you will need the COVID recovery document to get back into the US.
