Thanks for the help.

I am just back from 10 days in Spain. I got a Carrefour pre-pay SIM for €15, with a limit of 100MB per day - ie total of 1GByte. If you want to extend - you can re-charge in units of €5, and it only costs €1 per day.

However, I don't think they have Micro-SIMs. I didn't need one - but my understanding is that it is fairly easy to cut a standard SIM into a Micro-SIM size using a scissors.

There are other MVNOs - but most of them require that you order SIMs in advance with delivery to a postal address in Spain. Carrefour are a big supermarket chain - so you can walk in to any of their stores and pick up a SIM.
