Networks & coverage in Spain
Your Flylo eSIM connects to Spain's leading mobile networks, with speeds up to 5G where available:
- Movistar España2G / 3G / 4G
- Orange España2G / 3G / 4G / 5G
Coverage is strong across cities, the holiday coasts and the Balearic and Canary Islands. It is weaker in the rural interior, mountain areas like the Pyrenees and Picos de Europa, and inside long road and rail tunnels.
Staying connected in Spain
Spain has some of the most reliable mobile coverage in Europe, and this eSIM runs on Movistar España and Orange España, both offering up to 5G. In the cities you'll spend the most time in, Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, Málaga and Bilbao, 4G is effectively everywhere and 5G is widespread, so maps, video calls and streaming hold up while you're moving around. The busy holiday coasts are well served too: the Costa del Sol, Costa Brava and Costa Blanca and the resort towns along them get consistent signal, as do the Balearic and Canary Islands, which sit on Spain's domestic network rather than a separate roaming zone.
Signal is strongest where people are and thins out where they aren't. The high plains of the interior, mountain roads through the Pyrenees and Picos de Europa, and long motorway tunnels can drop to slower speeds or cut out briefly, though a connection usually returns within a minute or two once you reach open country or the next town. A few practical notes: the AVE high-speed trains generally hold a usable connection, apart from tunnels; the Madrid and Barcelona metros have good underground coverage; and connecting the moment you land at Barajas or El Prat lets you skip the airport Wi-Fi queues. Because the eSIM is data-only, you keep your home number active on your usual SIM for calls and texts.
Setting up your Spain eSIM
Install the eSIM before you fly, then switch it on when you land so it activates on Spanish networks. Make sure Data Roaming is turned ON for the eSIM line, as it's needed even though there are no roaming charges to you.
How much data will you need?
As a rough guide, five days of maps, messaging, social media and some streaming is around 3-5 GB. Estimate your trip with our data calculator →

FAQs about eSIMs for Spain
Does an eSIM work in Spain?
Yes. Spain has widely supported eSIM connectivity, and this data-only eSIM connects to Movistar España and Orange España (up to 5G) as soon as you arrive.
Is there coverage outside the main cities and resorts?
Yes, towns and coastal areas are generally well covered. Signal can be patchy or slower in the rural interior, mountain regions such as the Pyrenees and Picos de Europa, and inside long tunnels, but it usually returns quickly.
Does the eSIM include a Spanish phone number?
No. It's data-only, so there's no number for calls or SMS. You can keep your home SIM active alongside it for calls and texts, or use apps like WhatsApp and FaceTime over the data connection.
Can I use it as a hotspot to share with other devices?
Yes. You can tether or create a personal hotspot to share the connection with a laptop, tablet or a travel companion's phone.
What happens once I've used a lot of unlimited data?
The plan is unlimited, but speeds may be reduced after a fair-use threshold is reached. Everyday use like maps, messaging, browsing and social media is unaffected for typical travellers.
Do I need to turn on Data Roaming?
Yes. Data Roaming must be switched ON for the eSIM line for it to connect to the Spanish networks. This won't cause any extra charges from Flylo.
Can I use it alongside my normal SIM?
Yes. On a dual-SIM phone the eSIM runs at the same time as your home SIM, so you can keep your usual number for calls and texts while using the eSIM for data.
Does it cover the Balearic and Canary Islands?
Yes. Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and the Canary Islands including Tenerife and Gran Canaria are part of Spain's domestic network and are covered by the same plan.
Are eSIMs available in Spain?
Yes. Flylo eSIMs work across Spain on the strongest local 4G/5G carriers, with automatic network fallover so you stay online in cities, airports, on trains, and in rural stretches.

Does Flylo eSIM in Spain support 5G?
