Yes there are, no problem! I myself use an Orange.es pay-as-you-go SIM here in Spain, but I believe all the major operators offer similar PAYG SIMs.
Furthermore, Orange offers a card to their customers which you can buy for 5 euros in their offices and which provides foreign calls at much cheaper than the standard rate.
Though STILL cheaper for international calls is internet phone connections: they can be entirely free, if you are with the right operator, once you have paid a very modest subscription to the service. This is what I regularly use in Spain for my daily phone calls abroad.
However, if you use your own old cell phone, which was bought for another network in another country, you may have to pay a fee to have it liberated from your old provider's network before you can use it on other networks: that is what I have had to do to "free" my old cell phones from their original (British) service providers: for a relatively modest fee, you will then be provided with a "release code", and instructions how to use it.

Does anyone know if there are there pay as you go SIMs for cell phones in Spain?
I would like to leave my cell phone with my son who lives near Barcelona and install a sim that allows him to purchase credits for phone calls.
