Best Travel eSIMs for Spain (and Canary Islands)

Planning a trip to Spain?

Whether you're heading to Barcelona for tapas, soaking up sun in Costa del Sol, or getting lost in the winding streets of Seville, staying connected is essential.

That’s where eSIMs come in.

But which one should you choose? We’ve made it easy with a curated list of Spain eSIMs you can download and activate right now.

Which Spain eSIM Should I Buy?

Once you find a provider (with good reviews), your biggest concern is buying enough data and deciding if you need calls and texts, too.

And remember, some plans cover single countries only (Smartroam), while other plans cover entire continents (Orange) and most countries around the world (Three).

• Just checking emails and maps? Go for 5GB or 10GB. Light, reliable, and budget-friendly.
• Streaming and social media addict? 20GB gives you more breathing room.
• Going all in on mobile data? Choose 7-day unlimited or 15-day unlimited—especially if you’ll be hotspotting or video-calling often.
• Travelling across Europe? Pick the Orange 30GB plan for coverage in 35+ countries (and calls and texts!)
• Going global? Three’s 18GB global plan keeps you connected beyond Europe.

Spain eSIM FAQs

1. What happens when I buy one of these plans?

Once you purchase a plan, we’ll instantly send you download instructions by email. You can install your eSIM in minutes and stay online without needing to swap out your physical SIM card. That means you can keep receiving calls and texts on your regular number while using your new eSIM for data!

2. Will these eSIMs work with my phone?
Most modern smartphones are eSIM compatible. iPhones from XS onward, most recent Samsung Galaxy, Pixel, and Huawei models are supported. Check your settings under ‘Mobile Network’ for “Add eSIM.”

3. Do I need to install it before I travel?
You can download your eSIM before you fly and activate it once you land. It won’t connect until you’re in Spain, so no need to worry about early activation.

4. What’s the difference between VoIP and regular calls?
Plans without a local phone number only support calls via apps like WhatsApp, Skype, and FaceTime. For traditional calls and SMS, choose a plan that includes a local number.

5. What happens if something goes wrong?
Sim Local offers live customer support via WhatsApp and a no-quibble refund policy. If your eSIM doesn’t work, we’ll sort it—or refund you, no questions asked.
6. Are Spanish islands included in the coverage?
Yes, this includes the Canary Islands like Gran Canaria, Tenerife, and Lanzarote.
