Spain

Our eSIM plans for Spain range from 10GB to 50GB and come with 5G functionality. You can keep your normal number and once you buy your eSIM, it’ll be immediately sent to your email. From there, simply install it and then activate it when you get to your destination. 

Spain typically has excellent 4G/5G coverage nationwide.   Major cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, and Bilbao have extensive 5G networks with speeds exceeding 100 Mbps. Coastal tourist destinations including Costa del Sol, Costa Brava, and the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca) as well as the Canary Islands usually experience strong connectivity.  

Absolutely – your Spain eSIM works on popular Spanish islands, including the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca, Formentera) and Canary Islands (Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro).   Tourist areas, beaches, resorts, marinas, and major towns have reliable 4G/5G connectivity throughout, while even smaller islands and remote coastal villages have decent connection. Note that you may experience intermittent coverage taking ferries between islands. 

Yes, you can walk the Camino de Santiago with your eSIM. However, it’s worth noting that some remote areas have little to no signal, so it’s best to plan ahead to make sure you have what you need (e.g. maps downloaded beforehand) before you set off. 

In Spanish cities and major tourist areas, you can expect excellent speeds – 4G LTE typically delivers 20–60 Mbps download speeds, while 5G networks in cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Malaga, and Bilbao offer 100–200+ Mbps (sometimes even exceeding 300 Mbps).  These speeds are great for streaming 4K videos, uploading large files, video conferencing, and multiple-device hotspot sharing. In coastal resorts, the Balearic and Canary Islands, and other popular destinations, speeds average between 15–50 Mbps. Rural areas and small villages generally offer 5–20 Mbps. Overall, Spain consistently ranks among Europe’s top destinations for mobile network speed, reliability, and coverage. 

Absolutely – you can use your device as a Wi-Fi hotspot with a Travel eSIM. This is especially useful if you’re exploring Spanish cities, beaches, or cultural sites with friends.  Just enable hotspot in your device settings and secure it with a password.   Keep in mind that hotspot usage depletes your data faster, especially with multiple connected devices streaming or downloading content. Our 50GB plan is ideal for sharing among 2-3 people during extended trips through Spain, while our 20GB plan works well for smaller groups and couples.
