This has occured merely weeks after a major power disruption kept almost the entire country without electricity.
Almost all major cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and Valencia have reported outage of telecom services.
The outage has been attributed to a botched up network upgrade by Spanish telecom giant Telefonica.
In April, Spain and Portugal had suffered a massive electricity outage where the grid across large span of the nations experienced failure.
