Will I have signal driving up to Mount Teide?

In the towns and lower slopes, yes. On the high volcanic plateau of Teide National Park coverage becomes patchy, so download your maps, cable-car booking and any hiking route before you begin the climb.

Is the eSIM good for inter-island ferries?

Near port and close to shore you'll usually stay connected, but signal can drop on longer open-water crossings. Grab your ferry tickets and onward directions on Wi-Fi or near the harbour before you sail.

Good to know in Canary Islands

Each island has its own bus network - the 'guagua' - with its own app (TITSA on Tenerife, Global on Gran Canaria); for the volcanic interiors and Teide, cache offline maps, as the high, sparsely populated terrain loses signal fast.

Best time to visit Canary Islands

The Canaries are a year-round destination with mild subtropical weather; winter is especially popular for escaping the cold of northern Europe.

Two simple ways to buy

Canary Islands eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Canary Islands eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Canary Islands — 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.

Best value for lighter, shorter trips
Clear allowance — pay only for what you need

How much data do you need in Canary Islands?

A rough, honest guide to sizing your Canary Islands eSIM so you're not guessing. Most travellers in Canary Islands are comfortable on 3–5 GB a week — heavy streamers just go Unlimited.

Canary Islands eSIM: your local data guide.

The Canaries reward exploration, and data keeps you oriented - driving up to Teide's crater in Tenerife, finding a black-sand beach in La Palma, timing a ferry between islands, or navigating Gran Canaria's dunes at Maspalomas. A Canary Islands eSIM connects to Movistar, Orange or Vodafone on landing, so maps and bookings work island to island.

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

Landing at Tenerife South Airport (TFS)?

Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.

Across the region

Where you'll lean on data in Canary Islands.

Teide National Park

Coverage is patchy on the high volcanic plateau, so download the route and cable-car details before ascending.

Gran Canaria

Strong data in Las Palmas and the southern resorts around Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés.

Lanzarote

Reliable signal in Arrecife and Playa Blanca, thinner across the Timanfaya lava fields.

La Palma

Good coverage in Santa Cruz, patchier in the Caldera de Taburiente and the forest trails.

The practical bit

Getting around Canary Islands on your eSIM.

How long to stay in Canary Islands

A week on a single island suits most; ten to fourteen days lets you combine two islands, such as Tenerife with La Gomera or Lanzarote with Fuerteventura.

How much data for Canary Islands

3-5 GB covers a week of navigation, ferry apps and beach photos; choose Unlimited for streaming on long resort days or tethering while working remotely in the winter sun.

Coverage in Canary Islands

Data is strong in Las Palmas, the southern Tenerife and Gran Canaria resorts, but realistically thins across Teide's plateau, Timanfaya's lava fields and the forested calderas of La Palma and La Gomera.
