Heading to the sun-soaked Canaries? Because these islands are part of Spain, our standard Spain eSIM is all you need to stay connected across the archipelago. Whether you're landing in Tenerife South or hopping a ferry to La Gomera, one simple data plan has you covered. 🌋
Here are the Spain eSIM plans that provide complete data coverage across the Canary Islands.
Absolutely. The Canary Islands are a Spanish territory, so our Spain eSIM gives you seamless data coverage on every island. You won't need a separate plan for Tenerife, Gran Canaria, or Lanzarote. If you're island-hopping between Fuerteventura and La Palma, the same eSIM keeps you connected. Keep in mind that while the Canaries are outside the EU VAT area, they run on standard Spanish mobile networks, making it incredibly easy to use your Spain data plan from the moment you land.
You'll be connecting to the rock-solid Orange (5G) network across the archipelago. This means fast speeds in the main resorts, cities, and around airports like TFS, LPA, and ACE. Signal is generally excellent along the coasts and main highways. However, be prepared for dead zones when you venture deep into the volcanic craters of Teide National Park or hike remote trails in La Gomera. You'll also likely lose connection during longer ferry crossings between the islands.
If you're popping over for a week of winter sun and plan to mainly use WhatsApp and Google Maps, a smaller 3 GB or 5 GB bundle will do the job perfectly. For longer stays, digital nomads working from Las Palmas, or if you love streaming podcasts while driving up winding mountain roads, consider our larger or unlimited-style data packages. Remember, you can always top up your data directly from your phone if you find yourself running low.
Install your eSIM before you fly out, so you can connect to the local network as soon as you touch down at the airport. It's a good idea to download offline maps for your rental car journeys, especially if you're exploring the dramatic, twisty roads of Gran Canaria or heading into the rural heart of La Palma. Turn off automatic app updates over cellular data to save your allowance for checking ferry timetables and finding local tapas spots.
No, you don't. The Canary Islands are part of Spain, so you just need our standard Spain eSIM. It works across all the islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and Lanzarote, so you can island-hop without buying multiple plans.
Your eSIM will automatically connect to the Orange network, which offers excellent 5G coverage across the populated areas of the Canary Islands. You don't need to manually select a carrier; your phone will find the best signal automatically.
For a typical one-week holiday using maps, messaging, and casual browsing, a 3 GB or 5 GB plan is usually plenty. If you stream video, work remotely, or rely heavily on social media, you might want to look at our larger data bundles.
Yes, absolutely. If you run out of data while exploring the volcanic trails or lounging on the beach, you can easily buy a top-up through our website. The extra data will be added to your active eSIM instantly.
Yes! If you install the eSIM on your phone before you depart and turn on data roaming, it will connect to the local Orange network as soon as you land at airports like TFS or ACE, skipping the airport Wi-Fi hunt.
