Can I cross into French Basque towns like Biarritz on this eSIM?

No - once you cross into France you leave Spain's networks, and this is a Spain-only plan. It covers everywhere on the Spanish side, but Biarritz, Bayonne and St-Jean-de-Luz would need separate roaming.

Is coverage reliable for the metro in Bilbao?

Yes. Bilbao has excellent city-wide 5G and coverage in most metro stations, so journey-planning and live-time apps work smoothly. Ticket machines and contactless also work if you'd rather not use an app.

Good to know in Basque Country

The Basque coast is hilly and deeply green, so while Bilbao and San Sebastián have superb 5G, coverage can dip in the tunnels and valleys along the coast road and in the interior natural parks - cache maps before rural drives.

Best time to visit Basque Country

Late spring to early autumn (May-September) is warmest and driest; this green, Atlantic region sees rain year-round, so always pack for a shower.

Two simple ways to buy

Basque Country eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Basque Country eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Basque Country — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Basque Country eSIM: your local data guide.

The Basque Country runs on data - navigating Bilbao's riverside to the Guggenheim, hopping bars for pintxos in San Sebastián's old town, mapping the surf breaks at Zarautz, or driving the rugged coast road. A Basque Country eSIM connects to Movistar, Orange or Vodafone on arrival, keeping maps, restaurant bookings and transit apps live throughout.

One eSIM for Basque Country and all of Spain. It's the national Spain eSIM — from $2.15/day with unlimited data, working the same in Basque Country as it does the moment you leave it.
