Hello, I'm heading to Barcelona and Paris (30days). Which sim card or esim is best for these 2 countries for 30days ?

I read Airalo and Orange works best in these 2 countries?

Should I buy in advance in Sgp or reach Barcelona airport and buy?

We fly via Vueling to Barcelona. Nothing memorable about it except a 30 min delay in flight. But we generally don't plan anything time critical on day of arrival.

Mulhacen is in my to do list. Hope to hike it in summer in future. Probably will fly in to Malaga and visit Granada plus Mulhacen hike in the same trip. If i have more time, maybe will do a side trip to Gibraltar.

Got 5d4n and I intend to spend in Tenerife. I’m there to just chill on the beach, see some sights, drink and eat

Issit worthwhile in march (3rd week) or will it be too cold for the beach? I read the weather will be about 22ish degrees in the day in march and the web says it’s a fine time to start getting a tan. but as a person from a tropical country 22 sounds cold hahaha
Had a feeling it won’t be cold too. Too spoilt by our tropical weather haha.

anyway already booked the flight, airbnb and car there. Looking forward!
Not cold la.... singapore cinemas and shopping centres colder ..... islas canarias got good weather most of the year...
Will a sim card that work in “mainland Spain” work in Tenerife?
abuthen...ish spain la!
Am also looking for a Sim card that works in both Spain and Andorra. Ist cheaper to get it here or get it when in Europe?

Andorra is a cheater country...money laundry place...for so many years they dont want to make a cheap telecom with Spain/Europe. So be careful using a spanish sim card in Andorra....they will charge u like hell....

Not sure how budget you are but Hostal Fernando in Barcelona city central has private rooms with bathroom at comparatively lower rates than other hotels. Some people may not like the area though.
