Spanish media reports have claimed that the US National Security Agency secretly monitored 60 million phone calls in Spain during a single month last year.
Spanish newspapers said details of the alleged monitoring were included in documents provided by the fugitive US whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The content of the phone calls were not recorded during the alleged monitoring, but the duration of the calls and the serial numbers of the phones involved were.
The revelations come following similar allegations of US surveillance in France and Germany.
Spain's government has so far said it was not aware its citizens had been spied on by the NSA.
It has resisted calls from Germany for the European Union's 28 member states to reach a "no-spy deal", similar to an agreement Berlin and Paris are seeking.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said the country was looking for more information.
An EU parliamentary delegation is due to meet United States security officials and members of congress later to express concern over alleged spying.
El Mundo newspaper has reproduced a graphic, which it said was an NSA document showing the agency had spied on 60.5 million phone calls in Spain between 10 Dec 2012 and 8 Jan this year.
The newspaper said it had reached a deal with Glenn Greenwald, the Brazil-based journalist who has worked with other media on information provided to him by Mr Snowden, to get access to documents affecting Spain.
Spain's European secretary of state and the US ambassador in Spain are scheduled to meet today, after Mr Rajoy said he would seek more details from the ambassador.
"We'll see once we have more information if we decide to join with what France and Germany have done," Mr Rajoy told a news conference in Brussels on Friday.
