You have generally two choices for Spain:

1.) buy a Dutch SIM card in the Netherlands and use it Dutch rates in Spain. That's called roam like at home and most Dutch operators offer it. It has the advantage of doing the whole purchase at home, in your language with the help of T-Mobile, KPN, Vodafone or whoever.

2.) buy a Spanish SIM card in Spain. For this you need to go to Spanish provider store like Vodafone (Spain), Orange or others and get a SIM there. It might be a bit cheaper, but you need extra time and language can be an issue. Not many Spanish people speak good English and your SIM will text you messages in Spanish.

So for a 1st timer it might be more convenient for you to get it at home. Only if you need much data (> 5GB) you find much cheaper offers in Spain than in the Netherlands.
