Not too long ago this same product only gave 5MB for the same price. It is a good idea offering at least 100 MB these days for these sorts of product and I only hope that more Spanish networks (and other European networks) follow suit.

A word of caution however... this particular offer looks good on face value, but it seems to be coupled with a voice element which costs an additional 1.21 for 10 minutes of incoming or outgoing calls. If you do not use the full 10 minutes you still end up paying. This is besides the fact that if you only receive calls then the effective cost per minute is above the EU stipulated rate. However, if you are using it as a data-only product it makes sense (i.e. if you do not make or receive a call on any particular day) in which case you only pay the 1 euro for the data.

By the way, Orange in other European countries also have "Go Europe" though invariably far worse value for money:
