Camino Frances '13, VDLP '16, Salamanca to Santiago/Finesterra/Muxia '17, Madrid/San Salvador '19.
I was walking thru an antique store, and noticed a sign that immediately reminded me of the camino. Unfortunately I did not have my phone with me to take a pic. But none the less it says volumes about what you "need". It said;

"Tell me what you need, and I will tell you how to do without it."
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

And it worked. You didn't need your smartphone after all.

Edit: well, except to post I guess.

There's a world of difference between 'need' & 'want'...then of course, there's that whole other category of 'could be useful'.... 😄 👣 🌏
