Part of our Europe plan.

Buying an eSIM for Spain

Pick a plan that covers Spain — a single-country plan is cheapest per gigabyte, a regional plan pays off the moment you cross a border.
Pay with USDT, BTC, ETH, SOL, TON or XMR. No email address, no account, no card.
Scan the QR that appears on the page. Do this at home over Wi-Fi rather than on airport Wi-Fi after landing.
On arrival, set the eSIM as your data line and turn data roaming ON for it. This is the single most common reason a correctly installed profile shows no data in Spain.

Coverage and network quality in Spain

5G is widespread in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Seville; rural Andalusia and the interior drop to solid 4G.

Mobile data in Spain: no ID, no shop

Spain has four large operators: Movistar, Vodafone, Orange and MásMóvil (Orange and MásMóvil merged in 2024), plus the fast-growing Digi. Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and the coasts have dense coverage. Gaps appear in the mountains and in the sparsely populated interior, and along parts of the Camino de Santiago between villages.

By law, every prepaid SIM in Spain has to be registered with an ID, a passport or a Spanish DNI. A travel eSIM doesn't go through that, because it is a foreign line visiting Spanish networks.

If your phone has an EU SIM, you already roam at home prices in Spain, and you may not need an eSIM. It matters for visitors from Latin America, the US, the UK and anywhere else outside the EU, where roaming in Spain is expensive.

Both the Madrid and Barcelona metros have mobile coverage in most stations, so maps keep working underground.

Spain is one of the cheaper countries for data in our catalog.

Which plan to pick for Spain

A week in one city: 1 to 3 GB.

eSIM vs roaming vs a local SIM in Spain

EU residents roam in Spain at domestic rates; everyone else is on standard roaming, typically $10–15 a day.
A local prepaid SIM is cheap but costs you an hour on arrival, usually an ID, and a phone number you will not keep. In Spain, that trade only makes sense on a long stay.
A travel eSIM sits in between: local-network speeds, no shop visit, no paperwork, and your own number stays live on your physical SIM for calls and SMS.

Check your phone: dial *#06# and look for an EID. Model by model: the compatibility page.

Practical notes for Spain

If your trip includes Portugal, France or Italy, a regional Europe plan is almost always cheaper than buying one country at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a passport for an eSIM in Spain?

Not for ours. Spanish SIM cards require ID by law. A travel eSIM is a foreign line and we never ask for documents.

I have an EU SIM. Do I need this?

Probably not, since EU roaming is at home prices. It's for visitors from outside the EU.

Does it work on the Camino de Santiago?

In towns and villages, yes. Between them, in the hills, expect short gaps on every network.
