The lay of the land
With 5 neighbours sharing a border, Spain lends itself to chaining. Overland isn’t plan B: it’s often faster and you always see more.

Travel notes for Spain
ES / FIELD NOTESData the moment you land
The first place being connected pays off is passport control, when they ask for your hotel address and it’s sitting in your email. Plans run from 1 GB to 50 GB, valid up to 90 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. An Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and wakes up when you touch down.
Timing your trip
Summer in Spain lands between June and August, and the prices and the queues come with it. If you can pick, May or September give you the same place with fewer people and less heat.
Paying your way
Take out cash less often and in bigger amounts: most ATM fees are charged per withdrawal, not per euro, so four small ones cost four times what one does. Use a machine attached to a real bank, in daylight, indoors if you can.
Documents & cover
Some countries ask for a yellow fever certificate depending on where you’ve been, not where you live: a layover can be enough to trigger it. Check the requirement against your actual route, stopovers included.
Getting understood
The translator’s camera is the tool people use most and mention least: point it at a menu, a sign or a ticket and read it. It works better with data, which is where an eSIM earns its keep far more than it does in your photos.

ES / 4- MadridMADMadrid is more walkable than the map suggests: half an hour on foot takes you from the Royal Palace to the Retiro, and across four centuries. Eat late, dine later, and don’t try to do it all in one day.9 routes · getting there
- BarcelonaBCNBarcelona is squeezed between mountain and sea, and you feel it: almost everything is downhill towards the beach. The Eixample is a perfect 1859 grid and the old town is the opposite, so trust your phone.8 routes · getting there
- ValenciaVLCValencia diverted its river after a 1957 flood and turned the empty bed into a nine-kilometre park running through the whole city. It’s the best way to get around: by bike, below street level.8 routes · getting there
- SevilleSVQSeville got rich on the Americas and spent it all on the cathedral. Summers top 40°C: if you come in July or August, the city happens from seven to eleven in the morning, and again after eight at night.8 routes · getting there
