eSpeedz Spain eSIM plans start at $7.99 for 30 days of prepaid data, from 5GB up to 50GB. You install the QR code we email you before your trip, and it connects when you land in Spain, with no passport registration at a phone shop.
Late dinners, long train rides and a city map you'll open fifty times a day. Land in Madrid or Barcelona already connected.
Spain requires every prepaid SIM to be registered to a passport or ID, so even the airport kiosks in Madrid and Barcelona will scan your passport before handing one over. Roaming on your US plan avoids the paperwork but not the cost: AT&T and Verizon both charge $12 a day, and T-Mobile's included data runs at up to 256kbps, which is slow when you're trying to pull up a train ticket at the gate.
Spain's trains are excellent and very app-driven. Renfe runs most routes, and on several high-speed lines from Madrid you can also ride with Iryo or Ouigo, which often undercut each other on price. In the big cities, the Spanish ride-hailing app Cabify works alongside Uber and FREENOW. Plenty of small businesses, from tapas bars to surf schools, take bookings over WhatsApp.
Free wifi is easy to find in cafes and hotels, though it's rarely fast enough for video calls at peak hours. Mobile coverage is strong in cities and along the coasts, but it gets patchier in the mountains, think the Pyrenees, the Picos de Europa and the Alpujarras, and between villages on the quieter stages of the Camino de Santiago.

Plans connect to leading local 4G/5G networks in Spain. Popular stops for travelers:
A week in Spain usually fits in 3 to 5GB: maps, train tickets, restaurant searches and messaging. Two weeks of city-hopping between Madrid, Andalusia and Barcelona with daily photo uploads is comfortable on 10GB. If you're settling into Valencia or Málaga as a remote worker, the 20GB or 50GB plan makes more sense, and every plan runs a full 30 days.
Spring (April to June) and fall (September and October) are ideal almost everywhere. July and August are scorching in Seville, Córdoba and Madrid, and the beaches fill with European holidaymakers, while the green north around San Sebastián, Asturias and Galicia stays milder. The Canary Islands stay warm through winter, which makes them a popular escape from November to March.
