🇪🇸 About eSIMs in Spain
Spain has strong 4G coverage across the entire peninsula and the Balearic Islands, plus 5G in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Seville. Wanderly Spain eSIM plans use Movistar or Vodafone — the two networks with the best combined city and rural footprint. You get strong signal in every major city, along the AVE high-speed rail routes, and on Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and the Canaries.
Data needs are moderate: Cabify or Uber in the cities, Renfe or Ouigo for trains, Google Maps for the old-town alley networks, and WhatsApp for Airbnb hosts (Spain runs on WhatsApp). 8–12 GB covers a week comfortably; two-week travelers with a Costa Brava or Andalusia road trip usually want 15 GB.
If you are also visiting Portugal, France or Italy, the Europe regional plan is often cheaper overall.
Spain eSIM or physical SIM? A Spanish prepaid SIM bought in a shop or at the airport has to be registered with your passport and means swapping out your home SIM. A travel eSIM installs before you fly and leaves your home line on for calls and texts, which suits most trips; a local SIM is worth pricing only for long stays. Check the plan's country list if your trip includes Gibraltar or Andorra: neither is covered by a Spain-only plan unless it lists them. See our Spain eSIM guide.

Spain eSIM FAQ
Which network does the Spain eSIM use?
Movistar or Vodafone. Both are tier-1 Spanish carriers with strong 4G/5G nationwide.
Will it work in the Canary and Balearic Islands?
Yes, Movistar covers all inhabited islands including Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca, Tenerife and Gran Canaria.
Does it work on the AVE high-speed train?
Yes, coverage runs the length of the Madrid–Barcelona and Madrid–Seville corridors.
How much data for 1 week in Spain?
8–10 GB for maps, ride-hail, translation and WhatsApp. 15 GB for two weeks.
Should I get Spain-only or Europe?
Single-country for pure Spain trips. Europe regional if you cross into Portugal, France, Italy or Morocco.
Should I get an eSIM or a physical SIM for Spain?
An eSIM for most trips: it installs before you fly, needs no shop visit and keeps your home number on the other line. Spanish prepaid SIMs must be registered with ID and suit long stays better.
Does a Spain eSIM work in Gibraltar or Andorra?
Only if the plan lists them. Gibraltar and Andorra are outside Spain's mobile coverage for most Spain-only plans, so check the plan's country list before crossing.
