I am leaving from Iowa to start my Camino on August 24. My last ( I hope) big question is about phone service. I had been told by my cell phone company that my old Samsung smart phone would work in Spain if I purchased a Spanish SIM card. I found out today that I need a newer phone if I want to get a SIM card ànd actually make calls or text. I just wanted that capability in case of an emergency at home. Otherwise using email and Facebook and my blog when WiFi is available is still possible with my current phone. So my question is, what is cell phone service like in rural Spain? Is it like it is in many rural places in the US-very spotty? Or is it reliable? Will WiFi be available at least once a day? I will be doing the Camino Frances. Also, does the website blogger work in Spain?
