Spain eSIM for Travellers: Madrid, Barcelona and the Islands
Travel eSIM data in 210+ countries
Heading to Madrid, Barcelona, Seville or the Spanish islands? A travel eSIM gives you mobile data from the moment you land, so maps, ride apps and messages work without roaming bills.
Why use an eSIM here
- Data from the moment you land at Madrid-Barajas, Barcelona-El Prat or MΓ‘laga.
- No need to find a phone shop or show your passport for a local SIM.
- Keep your home number for calls and bank texts.
- Great for city breaks, beach holidays and road trips.
How to get connected in 3 steps
- Choose your plan on our eSIM page and enter code CONNECT at checkout.
- Install the eSIM before you travel by scanning the QR code you receive by email (most recent iPhones, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones support eSIM).
- Turn on the eSIM line and data roaming for it when you land – your normal SIM can stay in the phone for calls and texts.
Travel tips
- Download offline maps for the areas you will drive in or hike.
- Train tickets and boarding passes on your phone need data – keep enough for travel days.
- Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before you fly.

Questions travellers ask
Can I use one eSIM in Spain and other European countries?
Yes. A Europe plan covers Spain and many other European countries on one eSIM, so you do not need a new plan at each border.
When should I install it?
Install it a day or two before you fly, while you are on Wi-Fi at home. Then turn the eSIM line on when you land.
Does my phone support eSIM?
Most recent iPhones (XS and newer), Samsung Galaxy S and Z models and Google Pixel phones support eSIM. Your phone must also be unlocked. You can check under Settings: if you see “Add eSIM” or “Add mobile plan”, it is supported.
Can I keep my WhatsApp and my normal number?
Yes. The eSIM only gives you data. Your normal SIM and number stay in the phone, and WhatsApp keeps working with your usual number.
