Data roaming, spain?

    Hi
    I'm going to Spain next week with the school. I have an iphone though so some data usage out there would be pretty nice.

    I was wondering what the best way to go would be:
    1. Use an irish sim card from a network here, and use their roaming data option.

    2.Perhaps buy a sim card out there? And use a data plan based on one of those networks?

    Anyone know which would be cheapest? It's a pity 3 don't offer their "Like Home" thing in Spain to say the least :P

    Thanks

    Vodafone Prepay,
    Use the LIVE! button to access the internet at 99c a day,
    Sign up for Vodafone Passport for the cheap call rates in Spain.
    For More information on the call charges visit the vodafone site.

    I don't think any of the networks would suit your needs better:)

    You sure that internet price is applicable while roaming?
    I could only find
    http://www.vodafone.ie/roaming/connectabroad/networks/
    and some other plan which was €12 a day, or like €60 monthly.
    :confused:

    Thanks for the replies people anyway :o

    The price I think with 3 is €4 per KB and thats with movistar. Obviously 3 cant offer the 3 Like Home as there is no 3 network in Spain.
