If you are interested in the simplest, easiest and most reliable experience, go with the AT&T International Plan. Tons easier than trying to set up an eSIM on the fly.
It's just so easy to turn your phone back on when the plane lands and have everything working automatically.
On the other hand, this is not the least expensive way to stay connected, so you'll need to weigh convenience and cost. I'm happy to pay a bit more for zero hassles. Other users have other priorities though.

Check AT&T’s international coverage plan and pricing, and see if that meets your needs. If it does, use it. Personally, I use it when traveling internationally. Your needs may well differ from mine.

As others have mentioned, and I know from personal experience, getting a local eSIM will likely be cheaper but might well involve a lot of trouble, particularly if you do not speak Spanish.
