You do NOT want to get a Travelsim or other similar card as you mentioned. If you are going to be in a country for more than a week, get a prepaid for that country. You can get an idea of costs by looking at various descriptions of offering by Spanish carriers on this very web site. You often will find "sales" at reduced prices when you get there.
Incoming will be free for you. Calling a Spain mobile from the U.S. can be as little as 25 cents. Calling out will be much cheaper than using an "international" SIM.
You can find phones on Ebay for $50-$75. Best that you get a QUAD band phone that can be used or sold when you get back here rather than just a 900/1800 GSM phone that can only be used overseas.
Having a Spain number will make it possible for locals in Spain to call you. People aren't going to pay the outrageous rates to dial Estonia or Lichtenstein to call you.

Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20ยข/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.
My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
