A Spanish IP comes from a Spanish internet provider, and a residential proxy lends you a home or mobile line there. Sites in Spain then quote euro prices, rank local results first and show the ads that run in the country.
Three networks carry most of Spain's addresses: Telefonica's announces 33.4% of the country's IPv4, Orange's 17.8% and Vodafone's 17.1%. IPv6 barely moved this year and reaches 10.9% of users. Seller pools equal up to 22.4% of the 31.9 million addresses. All 10 working free Spanish proxies on our list were flagged on October 26, 2026. Our residential proxies target Spain at $0.50/GB for one GB.
Which networks does a Spanish IP come from?
RIPE NCC, the internet registry for Europe, lists every block it hands out, with the holder's country. With records to October 25, 2026, its file shows 31,945,856 IPv4 addresses for Spain, in 3,788 blocks held by 1,008 holders. We grouped the eight largest records by the network that announces their blocks:
Brand names hide some of this. Orange's network announces the whole Jazztel record and the old Ya.com record next to its own fiber record. Vodafone runs the ONO record beside its own, mostly through a network still named Vodafone ONO. Regional operators follow, such as R Cable, whose record names Galicia, and Euskaltel. At the bottom, 925 holders with 16,384 addresses or fewer share 6.7%.
Our Spain proxies page lists 309 networks for Residential Premium, among them Telefonica de Espana, Orange and Vodafone ONO. Its 1,522 cities, such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Zaragoza, form one of our longest city lists. Only 2 countries have more.
IPv6 barely moved. APNIC Labs measured 10.9% of Spanish users as IPv6-capable in the 30 days to October 23, 2026. A year earlier it was 10.7%, and in October 2020 2.7%.
How big are the Spanish pools sellers advertise?
Between a fortieth and a fifth of the registry. We read five sellers' Spain pages through our server on October 26, 2026, and divided each number by the 31.9 million:
Bright Data's figure is the one in its page title. The page text gives 201,656 Spain IPs, a quarter as many.
Oxylabs gives two numbers on one page: 5,921,834 IPs at the top and "over 3 million proxies" further down. Its text offers both datacenter proxies and home IPs. DataImpulse's counters showed 63,062 unique Spanish IPs in 24 hours, 261,861 in 30 days and 33,577 active at once. We do not publish our own pool size per country.
What changes with a Spanish IP?
Sites see a visitor in Spain. Google's help page says "IP addresses are roughly based on geography" and that location "helps to show you nearby results". Residential Lite fixes the country at the lowest rate. Residential Premium can also fix one city, or one network chosen by its AS number.
None of this switches off a site's own rules. MaxMind, an IP data vendor, flags suspected residential proxies in its Anonymous IP database. Our guide to how websites detect proxies explains the other checks.
Why do free Spanish proxies fail?
Few work, and those few are flagged. Our tracker has logged 3,661 Spanish addresses from public free proxy lists since May 13, 2026, and 1,063 worked at least once. On October 26, just 10 were working.
One ran at Amazon, and the rest on local networks such as Telefonica's. An IP reputation check had flagged all 10 and reported 9 for recent abuse. Our free proxy list for Spain shows any that work now.
How do you pay from Spain?
Pay by card or with crypto. Card top-ups through Visa or Mastercard start at $10 and crypto top-ups at $3. Either way the money sits in one balance that never expires. PayPal is not offered. The payment options page lists every method, and our guide to buying proxies with crypto sets out each network's fees.
How much traffic does a Spanish job use?
Plan on roughly 380 full desktop pages per GB. HTTP Archive's 2024 Page Weight chapter put the median desktop page at 2,652 KB. The median mobile page weighed 2,311 KB. Text-only fetches need far less, so weigh twenty pages of your own target first.
Which plan fits a Spanish job?
For most jobs, Residential Lite with Spain as the country, at $0.50/GB for one GB and $0.44 per GB at volume. Ten flagged free proxies will not carry real work. Residential Premium adds the 1,522 cities, the 309 networks and sticky sessions of up to 24 hours. It costs $1.49/GB for one GB and $1.00 per GB at volume. Mobile proxies reach Spain's 4G and 5G carriers too, and our residential proxies page lists every tier.
What this page could not check
- Our check covered no speed, success rate or block rate, on any network including ours.
- Which Spanish networks our exits use, and how many, is not something we publish.
- The RIPE NCC file counts addresses handed out. In-use addresses and users are different numbers.
- Routing was read once, on October 26, 2026, for the eight largest records.
- Pool numbers come from the sellers' pages that day, and we could not check what each one counts.
- All figures are due for a recheck by January 26, 2027.
