Will I have signal at the hidden coves and Cap de Creus?

In the coastal towns, yes. On the steep paths down to the calas and out on the wild Cap de Creus headland, coverage can drop, so download maps and directions before heading off the main roads.

Is it easy to get around the Costa Brava without a car?

The Rodalies trains and coastal buses link the main towns, and your eSIM keeps their apps live for planning. That said, the remoter coves are far easier to reach with a hire car and offline maps.

Good to know in Costa Brava

The best beaches are hidden calas reached by steep, winding paths where signal can vanish, so screenshot the trailhead and parking spot before you set off - and note Girona Airport is small, with Barcelona (BCN) often the bigger gateway.

Best time to visit Costa Brava

May, June and September bring warm seas and quieter coves, while many smaller coastal spots wind down once the summer season ends.

Two simple ways to buy

Costa Brava eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

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

Costa Brava eSIM: your local data guide.

The Costa Brava's charm is its rugged coastline, and data helps you reach it - finding the path to a hidden cala near Begur, driving to Dalí's Cadaqués, timing a boat trip from Roses, or catching the train inland to Girona. A Costa Brava eSIM connects to Movistar, Orange or Vodafone on arrival, keeping maps and bookings live.

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

Landing at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO)?

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 Costa Brava.

Girona

Fast city coverage for the old town, cathedral and onward Rodalies trains to the coast.

Cadaqués

Reliable signal in the village and at the Dalí house, thinner on the Cap de Creus headland.

Tossa de Mar

Good data around the walled old town and main beach for rides and restaurant bookings.

Begur & the calas

Signal holds in town but can drop on the steep paths down to the hidden coves.

The practical bit

Getting around Costa Brava on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Costa Brava

Moventis— Coastal bus services on the former Sarfa routes connecting Costa Brava resorts.

How long to stay in Costa Brava

Four to seven days suits the Costa Brava - a relaxed mix of cove-hopping, a day in Girona or Figueres for the Dalí museum, and coastal walks.

How much data for Costa Brava

A balanced 3-5 GB covers a week of navigation, boat and restaurant bookings, and beach photos; go Unlimited if you'll stream or tether from a coastal villa.

Coverage in Costa Brava

Girona and the main resort towns have strong 5G, but data honestly thins on the steep cala paths, the Cap de Creus headland and the back-roads through the Gavarres hills.
