A local SIM card or eSIM can be very useful to save on roaming charges and get access to affordable local data plans. Many operators, such as Movistar, Orange and Vodafone, offer eSIM, which makes it easy to get online right after arrival.
Mobile internet speed in Spain is generally high, especially in major cities such as Madrid and Barcelona. 4G coverage is widely available, and 5G networks are rapidly expanding, offering even faster speeds for streaming, navigation and social media.
Most modern smartphones from Apple, Samsung and Google support eSIM. Before your trip, make sure your phone is unlocked and eSIM-compatible so you can connect without any issues and easily use services like Vlex eSIM.
In popular tourist destinations such as Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia, mobile coverage is excellent. Even in more remote regions like Andalusia or the Canary Islands, you can usually enjoy stable internet access for maps, messengers and travel apps.
To activate an eSIM in Spain, you need to scan the QR code provided by your operator or use the operator’s mobile app. The process usually takes just a few minutes, after which you can start using mobile data right away with your eSIM from Vlex eSIM or another provider.
QR arrived a minute after payment. Installed at home over Wi-Fi, data switched on automatically at the arrival airport.
Smooth checkout, QR in about two minutes. Not a single dropout during the trip.
Third purchase here. Pay, scan, go — still works every time.
Couldn't find the QR setting on my Samsung at first. Support replied quickly and walked me through it.
First time using an eSIM — the email guide got me set up in three minutes.
My main SIM stayed in place, bank SMS kept coming while data went through the eSIM. Handy.
