Staying connected in Spain
What the coverage maps do not tell you, and what you will actually use the data for.
Where the signal actually drops
Movistar, Orange, Vodafone and Yoigo cover the peninsula and the islands well. The gaps are the Pyrenees, the Picos de Europa, and inland Extremadura and Aragon, where you can drive for a while with a very weak signal. The Canaries and Balearics are well covered around the resorts and towns, less so on hiking trails.
What you will use your phone for here
Standard European patterns, plus a strong culture of same-day restaurant booking by app or WhatsApp. Long-distance rail and bus tickets are usually held on the phone.
Before you go
A Europe-wide plan usually includes the Canary Islands, but not always, and the Canaries are outside the EU VAT area which occasionally causes plan exclusions. Check before flying if that is your destination.
How much data you will actually need
Low to moderate, and lower than average if you are on a beach holiday rather than touring.
