Will my data work on the train from Barcelona to Girona?

Generally yes. The Rodalies and high-speed lines run through populated corridors with good coverage, so you can stream or work for most of the ride, with occasional dips in tunnels and cuttings.

Can I use it for the metro and to buy transit tickets?

Absolutely. Your eSIM gives you data throughout Barcelona's metro stations and lets you use the TMB and Rodalies apps to plan journeys and check live times, though ticket machines also take contactless cards.

Good to know in Catalonia

Uber is limited in Barcelona and taxi VTC rules are strict, so FREENOW and Cabify are your most reliable ride apps; for getting around, the integrated T-Casual transit ticket beats buying single fares.

Best time to visit Catalonia

May, June and September offer warm weather, sea swims and lighter crowds than peak August, while winter suits skiing up in the Pyrenees.

Two simple ways to buy

Catalonia eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

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

How much data do you need in Catalonia?

Catalonia eSIM: your local data guide.

Catalonia packs a lot into a small footprint, and data smooths every leg - navigating Barcelona's Eixample grid, timing your Sagrada Família slot, riding the rack railway up Montserrat, or finding a hidden cove near Cadaqués. A Catalonia eSIM latches onto Movistar, Orange or Vodafone on arrival, keeping maps, tickets and transit apps live.

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

Catalonia eSIM questions, answered.

Yes, it's one national Spain plan covering all of Catalonia. Barcelona has excellent 5G; up in the Pyrenees and around Val d'Aran, coverage clusters in the ski towns and can fade on high mountain passes.
