eSIM data plans for Spain

Spain's plans split two ways: a fixed data allowance from 1GB to 50GB, or unlimited data sold by the day, from a single day up to a full month. The right choice depends on how long the trip runs and how the data gets used.

Fixed data or unlimited by the day

A fixed data plan suits a trip where the total usage is predictable: checking maps, messaging, browsing, the occasional video call. A traveller who wants to stream, video call at length, or simply not think about a total is better matched to an unlimited plan, priced per day of use rather than per gigabyte.

Using a fixed data plan

Once a plan's data is used up, it stops, and a top-up restores it on the same eSIM, so a 5GB or 10GB size is a starting point rather than the final amount for the whole trip. Anyone unsure how much a two or three week stay will need can start smaller and add more later, or step straight to the 20GB or 50GB sizes for a heavier trip.

Using an unlimited plan

Unlimited plans carry a fair use policy: past a daily amount, speed is reduced for the rest of that day, then resets the next day. They are sold in single blocks, from one day for a short stop to thirty days for a full month, so the day count can be matched closely to an itinerary, weekend trip or long stay alike.

Buying ahead of the flight

Validity starts at the first connection to a network in Spain, not at purchase and not at installation. An eSIM installed days or weeks before departure sits ready and costs nothing until it connects on arrival, which makes buying early a matter of convenience rather than timing.

Sharing the connection

Hotspot and tethering are available on every plan here, fixed data and unlimited alike, so a phone can share its connection with a laptop or a second device without needing a separate plan for each.
