Spain's primary network type for travellers is 4G LTE, available across the mainland and islands. 5G is rolling out in Barcelona, Madrid, and major cities through Vodafone and Orange. Note that EU roaming rules only apply within EU and EEA countries. Rural areas fall back to 3G where 4G towers are sparse.
