eSIM for Barcelona
Your days start when you land, not when you pay
- Installs in minutes
- Keep your number
- Hotspot included
- No roaming fees
- Secure payment with Stripe
Barcelona packs a beach, a medieval quarter and a grid of modernist blocks into one walkable city, and almost every headline sight now sells timed tickets online. Arriving without data usually means queueing for something you could have booked from the airport.
You will use it for timed entry to the Sagrada Família and Park Güell, for metro routing between the Gothic quarter and Gràcia, and for day trips up the coast. The same eSIM works across Spain, islands included.
This is an eSIM for Spain. It works everywhere in the country, Barcelona included — there is no Barcelona-only plan, and you would not want one. See all Spain plans

Frequently asked questions
Is this eSIM only for Barcelona?
No. It is an eSIM for Spain, and it works across the whole country, Barcelona included. That is deliberate: plans are sold per country, so you stay connected when you leave Barcelona instead of losing data at the edge of town.
Will my phone work with the Barcelona eSIM?
Any eSIM-compatible phone bought in the last few years (iPhone XS or newer, Pixel 3 or newer, recent Samsung Galaxy, etc.) works with our Barcelona eSIMs. Use our compatibility checker if you are unsure.
When does the Barcelona eSIM start counting?
Validity starts the moment the eSIM connects to a network in Barcelona, not when you buy it. You can install it before your trip without losing days.
Do I keep my regular number while using the Barcelona eSIM?
Yes. Your physical SIM stays active for calls and SMS on your normal number. The Barcelona eSIM only handles mobile data, so WhatsApp, maps, and apps keep working.
Can I tether or use a hotspot in Barcelona?
Yes, all our Barcelona plans allow tethering and personal hotspot, so you can share data with a laptop or another device.
What happens if I run out of data in Barcelona?
You can buy a new plan for Barcelona at any time and install it on top of the previous one. No need to wait or visit a shop.
Is the Barcelona eSIM refundable?
If you have not installed or activated the eSIM yet, contact our support and we will issue a refund. Once the QR has been scanned and the eSIM activated, it cannot be refunded because you changed your mind — but if it isn't working, contact us and we'll sort it out.
