Hi. While I agree with your comments about network coverage in Spain and Lyca (tethering is mentioned in the article), it totally disagree with your point of view of data rates in Spain.

Spain is "3rd world" because they sell 2GB for 5€, while Italy sells 10GB for 19€. Does this make Italy "1st world"? Well, Spain is still below EU average for data prices. France, Luxembourg and Germany are higher for instance (= 4th world?). Having edited all EU countries, I can promise you, the cost of data has nothing to do with their technological level (like LTE coverage or data speeds), but depends solely on the national market situation, competition, operators, license fees, a.s.o.

I think you have a problem with Spain, not its data rates. When you regard it as so "backward" and "undeveloped", you may choose a different country for your next journey. May I suggest Russia: 30GB are sold there for the equivalent of 17€ :-)
