Can I use the same plan in Toledo or Segovia?

Absolutely. It's a national Spain eSIM, so the same data works on day trips to Toledo, Segovia and El Escorial, and on the high-speed AVE trains linking Madrid to the rest of the country.

Will it activate before I leave the airport?

Install and activate the eSIM before you fly, and it connects automatically when you land at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas. You'll have data to arrange a taxi or Metro ride the moment you switch off aeroplane mode.

Good to know in Madrid

Madrid sits at 650m and summer afternoons are fierce — locals disappear for a siesta and many small shops shut. Use your data to check opening hours before walking across town in the heat.

Two simple ways to buy

Madrid eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

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

Plan your data

How much data do you need in Madrid?

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

Madrid eSIM: your local data guide.

Spain's capital moves fast, and a Madrid eSIM helps you keep pace — pull up gallery hours for the Prado and Reina Sofía, navigate the busy Sol metro interchange, and book a table for a late-night tapas crawl in La Latina. With data live from touchdown, you can ride-hail straight from Barajas and translate the Sunday chaos of the El Rastro flea market.

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

Landing at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD)?

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

The practical bit

Getting around Madrid on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Madrid

Metro de Madrid— Official metro app covering Line 8 from Barajas and the whole network; live times need data.
Cabify— Madrid-born ride-hailing super-app; ubiquitous in the capital and needs data to book and pay.
EMT Madrid— City-bus arrivals plus BiciMAD e-bikes in real time; data keeps live times accurate.
Uber— Works throughout Madrid alongside taxis; needs data to request rides and follow the route.

How long to stay in Madrid

Madrid is usually a three-day city break, covering the Prado, Reina Sofía, Retiro park and La Latina tapas, often with a day trip to Toledo or Segovia.

How much data for Madrid

With maps, gallery bookings, ride-hailing and social posts, a balanced 3–5 GB suits most three-day trips; pick Unlimited if you'll stream music on the Metro or tether other devices.

Coverage in Madrid

Coverage is excellent across the centre, Barajas airport and — unusually — inside the Metro itself, where most lines carry signal; it only really thins on rural day trips out toward Segovia or El Escorial.

Peace of mind

Your Madrid eSIM: data-only, zero bill shock.

Your Madrid eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in Madrid, no swapping your real SIM out.

Keep your number & WhatsApp

The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your home SIM. Your number, iMessage and WhatsApp keep working exactly as they do at home.

No roaming bills, ever

Turn data roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the eSIM. You pay once, up front — no overage, no metered surprises, no bill waiting when you land home.

One thing worth knowing

Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.
