Wifi On The Camino

[Larniej]

we are starting in 3 days!! And are deciding whether to purchase s local sim + prepaid data or whether there is regular wifi access (or only in big towns). Whilst not addicted to technology we need to be in touch re businesses back home.
If we should get a sim- any recommendations for a good company that services all/most of Europe (as we are continuing travels after Camino).
Thanks!

Hi, most of the alberque's have wifi.

I'am from Holland so I stick to my own profider and that is T-Mobile.
Wish you a wonderful time and a Buen Camino, Peter.

You do not say which country you are from - that probably makes a difference to any advice about finding a SIM and data deal.

Most albergues along the Camino Frances have wifi these days, as do many of the bars. You will not have to wait for the major towns to find wifi. Usually free though you may have to ask for the password from the bar staff.

While the albergues do have wifi, I found that it was often very slow. I purchased an Orange sim card in Pamplona for my tablet and ended up using it most of the time. It worked everywhere.

I buy data add ons to my home package. I think this is pretty economical if you are from any where in the EU.

In case you have to ask it's pronounced "Whiffy" and the password is "la contraseña" or (sadly nowadays) "password".
