Madrid eSIM

100 Spain plans · from $2.23

Madrid keeps late hours and spreads its best nights across neighbourhoods that are a metro ride apart, so a phone that works at 2am matters more here than in most capitals. A travel eSIM connects at Barajas and stays connected through the whole trip, without the daily roaming fee most non-EU carriers charge.

Landing at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas (MAD)

Line 8 of the metro runs from T4 and T2 into Nuevos Ministerios in about 15 minutes. Coverage in the tunnel is good, so an already-active eSIM lets you sort your onward route on the train.

Which networks you'll be on in Madrid

Siima eSIMs for Spain ride Movistar and Vodafone. Movistar has the densest 5G across the Comunidad de Madrid; Vodafone performs equally well in the central districts.

Coverage around Madrid

Metro network

Madrid's metro has had full in-tunnel mobile coverage for years, including the deep Line 6 circular. Signal is reliable between stations across the whole system.

Centro, Malasaña and Lavapiés

Strong 5G throughout. The narrow streets of La Latina can weaken signal indoors in older buildings, but outdoor coverage holds.

Retiro Park and the museum mile

Good coverage across the park and around the Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen. Inside the galleries, signal thins in the basement levels.

Toledo and Segovia day trips

The high-speed trains to both hold signal for most of the run, and the historic centres are well covered — useful, because both are easy to get lost in.

How much data you need

A week in Madrid typically uses 3–5 GB. If you are combining it with Barcelona or Seville, the same country plan covers all of them.

Frequently asked questions

Does a Spain eSIM cover the Canary and Balearic Islands?
Yes. Siima plans for Spain are country-wide and include the Balearics (Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca) and the Canary Islands (Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote) on the same eSIM.
Is an eSIM cheaper than roaming in Madrid?
For most non-EU travellers, considerably. Daily roaming passes from US, UK, Canadian and Australian carriers typically run $10–15 per day in Spain. A Siima Spain plan covers a whole week for a fraction of that. EU residents already roam at home rates and may not need one.
How do I set up an eSIM before arriving in Madrid?
Install it at home while you still have Wi-Fi: open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM and scan the QR code from your Siima confirmation email. Leave the line switched off until you land — the plan starts counting from first use in Spain, not from purchase.
How much data do I need for a trip to Madrid?
A week in Madrid typically uses 3–5 GB. If you are combining it with Barcelona or Seville, the same country plan covers all of them.
Is an eSIM cheaper than roaming in Madrid?
Almost always. Daily roaming passes from most home carriers run $10–15 per day, while Siima plans covering Madrid start from $2.23 for the whole trip. You also avoid per-megabyte charges if you exceed a roaming pass allowance.
