Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) serves Barcelona. Here is how to get online from the moment you land: the free Wi-Fi, where SIM cards are sold, and the eSIM you can install before you fly.
Connect to Airport Free Wifi Aena and the welcome portal opens.
Vodafone sells and activates prepaid SIM cards and eSIMs in both terminals:
Aena lists both shops in the passenger-only zone rather than the public area, so ask staff for directions if you do not see one before you leave. Aena does not publish prices.
Install one at home before you fly and you are online when the wheels touch down, with no queue at a SIM counter.
Spain's main mobile networks are Movistar, Vodafone, Orange and Digi. Orange merged with MásMóvil in 2024, so Yoigo, a MásMóvil brand, is now part of the same group. A travel eSIM connects to one of them as a roaming partner, which is why data roaming must be on for the eSIM line. The partner network can differ from plan to plan, so check the plan details, or ask us at support@esimlounge.com before you buy.
