Why Spain is different
"The Camino de Santiago has dead zones in the Galician mountains where Vodafone Spain drops completely — a single-carrier eSIM leaves pilgrims offline for hours."
Spain sits second in global inbound tourism after France with 93.8 million arrivals, and it's the most eSIM-demanding European country because of the Camino de Santiago. Walkers cover 250–800 km over two to six weeks; physical SIM registration requires a Spanish address, which almost no pilgrim has.
Our Spain plans run on Movistar and Vodafone Spain with automatic failover. The Camino-heavy Galician coast and Asturian mountains have known Movistar-only segments — our dual-carrier routing is the difference between "signal all day" and "useless by Sarria".
Coverage you can actually measure.
We run Spain on 2 carriers so your profile falls back automatically if one signal drops. Coverage figures are measured against our own uptime data, not carrier marketing claims.

4G · 5G

Troubleshooting
- Galician mountain trails (Camino Francés between Sarria and Portomarín) have Vodafone dead zones — dual-carrier fallback handles this automatically.
- Barcelona Metro is underground. Reconnection at street level takes 10–20 seconds.
- Canary Islands use the same plan — no extra surcharge.
