Internet
I need a prepaid SIM card to use the internet for 28 days in Spain. How much does this cost, where can I find it and how many GB can I charge?

Lobster mobile is your perfect choice for a one month only sim plan.
All the details in link below.
Any problems give me a shout.
Hope that’s helpful.
An English couple run a small shop just up the road on the left between roundabouts for Roda turn off and Arches Roundabout, opposite end of shops Near Gurkha Durbar restaurant.
I tried to get a lobster card last year, but because we are not permanent residents in Spain, I couldn't get one.
We went for an Orange SIM card. Costs Euro 5, has 6GB of data, but is only valid for 30 days. After that, you can keep the number and top up the data with another 6GB for another 30 days for another Euro 5. Only needed passport for proof of identity on first application.

No problem this year, possibly things have changed now, had problems with own uk sim and was going to do some travelling.
Went into lobster shop and set up a SIM card for my own phone.
Just check your phone isn’t locked to a provider
Only needed ID and obviously payment.
They was very helpful, even when they knew it was only a one off
Another thing you have to watch out for with a lot of uk providers now, is non EU Data roaming charges
