How can anybody tell you without knowing for how long you are going to "be in contact daily"?
The standard rates are 4.3p/min to make a call and 0.9p/min to receive. Are you likely to spend more than £3 per day to justify paying for the EuroTravaler?

And, without the package, be cautious with mobile data.

Also, if the phone isn't locked, you can find better roaming rates at other providers.

will be about 20 texts each way per day and about 30mins talking via mobile daily .

If her phone is unlocked you would be better off getting a payg virgin/three sim card and you call her, thats the cheapest method.

If she has access to a decent wifi signal then you could use something like WhatsApp for both calls and messages at no cost

will check out your comments many thanks to you both for your help and advice.Thank you

For calls/texts/facebook/whatsapp - yes.
If you need internet access, an usable one - no. Three Feel at Home is useless because of heavy throttling/traffic shaping.

Orange Spain payg sim gives AFAIR 3GB for 10 euro, valid 30 days. Unthrottled. You only need to show a passport (required by spanish law) and 10 minutes later you're good to go. Ask for "tarjeta prepago"
