Apparently a Firestick will work in Spain via a VPN, without the VPN disguising the Spanish group of IP addresses it won't work.

We have a fire stick in Spain which we took over. Must admit Amazon prime is pretty useless over there, but Netflix works, but will have some different content to the U.K. You can unlocked the firestick. That way you can put some streaming apps on it that will have a lot more content, I’ve the cinema app which is films and tv shows, works well in Spain and also in the U.K. We don’t use a VPN and we don’t have fibre in Spain.

Does anyone use a fire stick, getting their signal from a phone sim, either local or a UK one?

Guys, what are you doing for Internet at the moment? We used to use Grannet and pay for a months internet connection whenever we came over but I don’t think that’s an option now. We only come over for two months of the year.

Hi just to let you koan fire stick work good, just plug in mains / hdmi tune into wi fi/ search hdmi port number and away you go.
This is a fully loaded one and works exactly the same as uk.
My internet Surppliers are the old Grannet down in the GA centre.
