If you have AT&T international service, you have the Vodafone network, which is the most comprehensive in Spain. If you have general roaming, there are at least three networks, one of which will work almost everywhere. However, the roaming charges will be substantial.

Along the coast, it seemed just fine with the usual signal drop off in valleys and remoter areas. Vodafone dominates the Portuguese market, too. Again, roaming without an international data and voice plan will be expensive.
