£8/m no contract no credit check provides unlim mins+text and 12GB data, where 12GB data provides a buffer over your envisaged 10GB requirement and 12GB is coincidentally the roaming FUP limit.
Potential negs rather than choosing 3 PAYG directly:
some will argue that as Smarty is an MVNO it has less network priority than 3;
3s roaming FUP of max "continuous period of 60 days in a rolling 12-month period" may be more rigorously enforced by its MVNOs, inc Smarty.

Vodafone isnt it's £2.25 a day
EE isn't and it's an extra £15 a month.
3 costs £2 per day for roaming.
Not checked any of the MVNO's
Roaming charges will be the decider in who to go with post Brexit.
Another point to note, O2's parent company is Telefonica, whose Spanish network is Movistar, Spains biggest network. (edited)

Not clear if OP wants a burner SIM or semi-permanent mobile number or just some access to UK number calling & some data for either
one-off visit to Spain or
ongoing flitting between UK & Spain (3 PAYG has generous UK/roaming ratio before fair use violation).
If burner, just buy as many 10GB bundle sims is envisaged and turf each one when each 10GB is exhausted.
Sim(s) must be activated in UK prior to roaming, so the months' allowances start from date of UK activation.
One bundle per calendar month.
Subsequent optional monthly bundles are about £10 for 16GB (max 12GB roaming/m regardless of any higher bundle limit) assuming the "auto-renew" promo is still running which it should be as 3 is still actively promoting it (May 2023), archived for ref here: archive.is/48TM5
with detail also archived May 2023 here archive.is/bFPsv
Check if still active & how to qualify.
Have looked at O2..however data speed here in the UK where i live ( within london M25 ) is dire and akmost unusable during peak times.
wanted a permanent number to use for regualr trips back and forth...Maybe ill look at 3 on a PAYG basis
thanks again all
The plus thing about it is that it is aimed at the Expat community out there so English CS staff, really helpful as well when I called them.

I was really impressed with it and you can also use it in the UK.
