Hello,
I'm preparing for my first Camino (Frances) starting from SJPP on april 30th. My international flight will land in Paris and I will get the trains to SJPP. All set on regards to transportation, but I'm still in doubt on the best way to use a simcard during the travel.
The first alternative would be getting a Sim Card in Paris right on arrival. I believe that the advantage would be having conection from the start (and specially on the initial rounds that are a bit scary for a novice) but I'm not sure if the french SIM would have the same coverage as a spanish SIM on the Camino, and also don't know if I would be able to top up the credits at Spain after 30 days on a french SIM.
The other alternative would be staying offline (and rely on WiFi, which I believe would be rare) on the first rounds, and get a Spanish SIM in Pamplona, which I believe it's the first major city that we walk into Spain.
I would appreciate if veteran pilgrins could give me some advice and share your experiences.
Thank you very much, and Buen Camino!
