Coverage and network
This 30-day plan gives you 3 GB on the Movistar network, with 4G/5G where available. It is a data-only travel eSIM: your own number keeps working for calls and SMS, Spanish data rides on the local network, and there is nothing to return or cancel when the month ends.
Who the 30-day 3 GB plan fits
A month with 3 GB is the slow-travel formula: winter regulars on the Costa del Sol, a Málaga long stay, or relatives visiting family who mainly need WhatsApp, bus timetables and the weather. Roughly 100 MB a day keeps the essentials running while cafés and apartments supply Wi-Fi for video calls.
Activation steps and where to go next
Install the eSIM by scanning the QR code before you fly; the 30-day clock starts once it connects in Spain. Turn on data roaming for the line and you are set. See the full Spain eSIM range or the city page for Madrid — and if Catalonia calls, our Barcelona guide is worth a read.

Why Travelers Choose an eSIM for Spain
Heading to Madrid, Barcelona, Seville or the Balearic Islands? A Spain eSIM connects to Movistar, Vodafone Spain or Orange the moment you land at Madrid-Barajas (MAD), Barcelona-El Prat (BCN) or Palma de Mallorca (PMI) — no Movistar tienda queue, no passport photocopy at a kiosk. Activate a plan in two minutes, scan the QR code, and you're online to book Sagrada Família tickets, Google-map the Prado, or upload flamenco videos from a Seville rooftop. Choose a 7-day 3 GB plan for a Madrid + Barcelona weekend, a 30-day 10 GB plan for a full Spain circuit including Mallorca and Ibiza, or Spain eSIM unlimited data for a longer Canaries nomad stint.
eSIM vs Spanish Tourist SIM — Which Works Better for a Barcelona Trip?
Spanish carriers (Movistar, Vodafone Spain, Orange) sell tourist SIMs at airports and city shops, but an eSIM for Spain travel is faster to activate, cheaper, and includes EU-wide roaming when you cross into Portugal or France.
| eSIM | Movistar Tourist SIM | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup time | ≈ 2 minutes (QR scan pre-flight) | 15–30 minutes (shop queue) |
| Cost | from $1.40 | €10–25 per 2-week tourist pack |
| EU roaming | only the countries in your plan — check its list | Spanish SIM EU roaming included |
| Paperwork | none — just QR scan | passport copy (and NIE check at some shops) |
| Top-up | instant online | Movistar app or tienda visit |
Unlimited data in Spain: how it works
AviaeSIM's Spain plans include unlimited-data options alongside the fixed 1 GB to 20 GB plans. Unlimited means full 4G/5G speed up to 3 GB a day; after that the connection stays on at 1 Mbps — still fine for maps, messaging and email — and the full-speed allowance resets the next day. There is no hard cut-off and nothing to top up. For a two-week stay in Barcelona, Madrid or the Costa del Sol with video calls, streaming and tethering, the unlimited plan is usually the better buy; for maps and messaging a 5 or 10 GB fixed plan costs less.
For a trip that continues beyond Spain, the unlimited data eSIM for Europe applies the same rule across 28 countries on one profile, and the regional Europe eSIM offers fixed-data plans for up to 41 countries.
Spain eSIM FAQ — Movistar Coverage, EU Roaming & Unlimited Data
Which is the best eSIM for Spain?
The best eSIM for Spain depends on your plan — a 7-day 3 GB plan for a Madrid + Barcelona long weekend, a 30-day 10 GB plan for a full Andalusia tour through Seville, Granada and Córdoba, or Spain eSIM unlimited data if you are settling in a Valencia or Canaries co-working space. Our Spain eSIMs run on Movistar, Vodafone Spain and Orange, so 5G coverage is citywide in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and other major cities.
Is there an eSIM card for Spain without paperwork?
Yes — a Spain eSIM activates entirely through a QR code and requires no paperwork, passport copy, or Spanish residency (NIE) check. Unlike buying a physical Movistar or Vodafone tourist SIM — where a passport photocopy is often asked at purchase — an eSIM card for Spain downloads to your phone in seconds and starts working the moment you land at MAD, BCN or PMI.
Can I get unlimited data with a Spain eSIM?
Yes — our Spain eSIM unlimited data plans offer full-speed 4G/5G up to a daily fair-use cap (usually 3 GB/day), then continue at reduced speed with no hard shutoff. Ideal for digital nomads in Barcelona or Valencia, remote workers in Madrid, or anyone streaming from a Costa del Sol rooftop through a long summer.
