The US is not excepted but the UK is, meaning Americans show vaccination proof AND a negative PCR test while travelers coming from the UK does not?

Presumably the ID NOW test offered in many Walgreens stores, which is RT-LAMP technology should qualify, but not BINAX NOW at home tests, since this is an antigen test.

Looks like the Spanish official gazette has been updated today:
https://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2021/06/...-2021-9349.pdf
If I am reading it correctly, article 1(k) is an exemption (to the entry ban) for people with a certificate of vaccination approved by the Health Ministry.
Effective June 7th at 00.00

I found the answer to my question in another BOE issued today..... 8 pages long...
https://www.boe.es/diario_boe/txt.ph...OE-A-2021-9352
This is a Google translation of the original in Spanish:Fifth. Risk countries and entry requirements. Certifications.
Relevant language is underlined.... ONE of the certificates seeming to indicate that if vaccinated, no test necessary....

Well Spain seems to have changed the rules:
https://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2021/06/...-2021-9352.pdf
Google Translate of the above text:
So you need a certificate of vaccination OR a test result, not both, as previously.
A los pasajeros procedentes de países o zonas de riesgo, considerados como tal en función de la valoración de su situación epidemiológica en cada momento, se exigirá la certificación de alguno de los siguientes requisitos sanitarios:
a) Certificado que confirme que el titular ha recibido una vacuna contra la COVID-19 (certificado de vacunación).
b) Certificado que indique el resultado de una Prueba Diagnóstica de Infección Activa de COVID-19 que se haya realizado el titular (certificado de diagnóstico).
c) Certificado que confirme que el titular se ha recuperado de la COVID-19 (certificado de recuperación).
La lista de países o zonas de riesgo, así como los criterios de inclusión en la misma, se encuentra publicada en la página web del Ministerio de Sanidad: https:// www.mscbs.gob.es/ y en la web SpTH: https://www.spth.gob.es. Como norma general, las listas se revisarán cada siete días.
Los certificados deberán estar redactados en español, inglés, francés o alemán. En el caso de no ser posible obtenerlo en estos idiomas, el documento acreditativo deberá ir acompañado de una traducción al español realizada por un organismo oficial.

The US Embassy in Madrid and various US/Spanish government organizations and officials also tweeted information about the opening today: https://es.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information/
There is a link via this site to the travel health form one must fill out in order to go. I will be arriving in Spain June 19th. Had booked some time back hoping that would be a reasonable date and very glad it will work.

Arriving Sevilla via IAD and FRA on Thursday the 10th... would have been so much nicer had the government let out a little word earlier even if just saying it was going to happen and we're working on it....having to switch to Greece then at the last moment back to Spain cost me about $1100 and the loss of some really great seats in J... as it is now I'm in economy to IAD with a hope and a prayer for J IAD-MUC.. when I have a moment, I will report...
