There is no such thing as an international sim card.


Sim cards are tied to the carrier and country they are bought in.


Your own carrier may offer a Roaming option so you can use your iPhone with your own sim card and number while in Spain for a modified rate from your regular plan. Contact them for details.


Alternatively if your iPhone is unlocked, you can buy a sim card from a local carrier in Spain, and use that. You will get a Spanish number, and as such calls and messages to your regular number will not be received while using a sim card from a local Spanish carrier.
