Hi yevmes,
I can understand not wanting to waste time looking for SIMs in three countries, but my experience in Paris (you don't mention where you'll be in France)--and I would imagine Madrid would be the same way--was that you don't have to spend hardly any time looking for a SIM. Almost evey cafe sells one or another carrier's SIMs, and around my little hotel there had to be 5-6 dedicated phone shops within 3-4 blocks.
Like Stan, I'm not necessarily endorsing this as a solution, and, indeed, getting a single international SIM might be more cost-effective than paying the premium of an initial card 3 times, even if the international card's per call rates are higher.
But I mention this in case the clock runs out on your getting an international card before you leave. Don't worry. It won't waste much of your time at all finding national cards.
Have a good trip.
Marc
