Spain has excellent mobile infrastructure with nationwide 4G/LTE coverage across the peninsula, the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza), and the Canary Islands (Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote). Movistar provides the widest rural coverage — critical for road trips through Andalucía, Castile, and the Pyrenean foothills. Vodafone and Orange have superior 5G density in major cities. AVE high-speed trains connecting Madrid with Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, and Málaga have consistent 4G throughout. The Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route across northern Spain has solid coverage in all towns and most rural stretches. Ibiza and Mallorca have strong LTE coverage including beach zones and the island interior. Canary Islands have full 4G coverage across all seven main islands.
Plan size
How much data do you need?
Pick your travel style and trip length — we'll suggest the right Spain plan, no guessing.
Does the eSIM work in the Canary Islands and Mallorca?
Yes. All Spanish territories including the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla are covered under the Spain eSIM.
Is coverage good on the Costa del Sol?
Yes. The entire Costa del Sol from Málaga to Marbella and Estepona has excellent 4G/LTE and expanding 5G coverage.
Will this work on the AVE high-speed train?
Yes. All AVE routes have 4G throughout — Barcelona–Madrid, Madrid–Seville, Madrid–Valencia, and others all have consistent connectivity.
Does Flysimio work in Gibraltar?
No. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory with separate carrier infrastructure. You'd need a UK eSIM for Gibraltar coverage.
Is Spain eSIM cheaper than Airalo or Holafly?
Yes. Flysimio Spain plans are typically 40–60% cheaper than Airalo and 30–50% cheaper than Holafly for the same data and validity.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code and your plan installs instantly — no SIM tray needed.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
iPhone XS (2018) and newer, most Android flagships from 2020+, and all Samsung Galaxy S21+ devices support eSIM. Check our compatibility page for the full device list.
How do I install the eSIM?
After purchase, we email a QR code. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.
Can I keep my regular SIM while using this eSIM?
Yes. Most phones support dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Keep your home number for calls and SMS — use Flysimio for data abroad. You control which SIM handles what in your phone Settings.
Does the eSIM include a hotspot (tethering)?
Yes, all Flysimio plans include mobile hotspot at no extra charge. Share your data connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices freely.
What happens when my data runs out?
You can top up data from your account dashboard at any time. Top-ups are applied instantly — no need to buy a new eSIM or wait.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a full refund within 7 days of purchase. Contact contact@flysimio.com with your order number.
How long is the eSIM valid for?
You have 6 months from your purchase date to activate the eSIM. Once activated, the plan validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.
Will the eSIM work at the airport when I land?
Yes — as long as you installed the eSIM before your flight, it activates automatically when your phone connects to a local network on landing. No Wi-Fi required for activation.
What if the QR code doesn't scan?
If the QR code won't scan, you can enter the activation code manually — we include both in the email. You can also contact our 24/7 support team and we'll resend or manually provision your eSIM.
eSIM in Spain
The complete guide.
Best eSIM for travel to Spain
The best Spain eSIM offers wide coverage, clear pricing, and instant setup. Flysimio runs on Movistar, Vodafone, and Orange — networks that reach Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville, the Costa del Sol, and the Balearic and Canary Islands — with 5G across the major cities. Plans are prepaid with no contract and no roaming bill surprises: choose your data, pay once, and you're set. Your QR code arrives by email within seconds of checkout and installs in under a minute, every plan includes free mobile hotspot, and a 7-day money-back guarantee has you covered. Skip the airport SIM queue at Barajas or El Prat and land in Spain already online.
How to set up a Spain eSIM (step by step)
You can be connected in Spain in about two minutes. Check your phone supports eSIM — iPhone XS (2018) and newer and most Android flagships from 2020 do. Choose your Spain plan on Flysimio, pay with card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, and a QR code arrives by email seconds later. On Wi-Fi before departure, open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM (iPhone) or Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM (Android) and scan it; a manual code is included as a backup. Keep your home line as default until you land. Arriving at Barajas, El Prat, or Málaga, your Flysimio line connects automatically to a Spanish network — no kiosk, no SIM tray, no waiting.
How much data do you need in Spain?
Most travellers over-buy. For maps, messaging, and email, about 300 MB a day is enough, so a 3–5 GB plan covers a week in Madrid or Barcelona. Add social media, photos, and music and you'll want around 700 MB a day — a 10 GB plan suits a two-week trip along the coast and the AVE line. If you stream, video-call, or tether a laptop, budget 1.5 GB or more per day or pick an unlimited daily plan. The calculator above sizes it to your habits, and you can always top up mid-trip rather than paying for data you won't use.
Using a Spain eSIM on iPhone and Android
Flysimio works as a second line alongside your normal SIM, so your home number stays live for calls and texts while your Spanish data runs on the eSIM — the standard dual-SIM setup on iPhone XS and later and most Android phones since 2018. After installing, set the Flysimio eSIM as your cellular-data line and enable Data Roaming for that line only; it just connects the eSIM to Spanish networks, with no roaming fees. Keep your home SIM active for iMessage, or turn it off to avoid your carrier's charges. Not sure about your model? The compatibility page confirms it before you buy.
Hotspot, calls, and texts on a Spain data eSIM
Every Flysimio Spain plan includes mobile hotspot at no extra charge and without throttling, so you can tether a laptop or share with a companion and use your full allowance however you like. It's a data-only eSIM, so there's no Spanish phone number — but WhatsApp, FaceTime, Messenger, and Google Meet cover calls and messages over data, and your home number stays reachable on your main SIM. You stay connected from the mainland to the islands without the per-minute charges of traditional roaming.
Short Spain trips vs. long stays
For a long weekend in Barcelona or a quick city break, a 1–5 GB plan on a 7-day validity is the cheapest way to stay connected. For a two-week trip across Andalucía and the islands or a longer stay, a 10–20 GB plan or an unlimited daily option gives you room to navigate, stream, and share photos freely. Because Flysimio plans give you six months to activate, you can buy ahead and the countdown starts only when your eSIM first connects in Spain. No contract, nothing to cancel — the plan ends when it's done, and you can top up or rebuy next time.
