    SIM Card doubt - Arriving from Paris

    I concur. I've used my Spanish SIM in 4 European countries without a glitch for calls and data. For top-ups, I use the app DING anywhere in the world(presently in Morocco). Happy travel.

    SIM card Madrid Airport

    You have all the options on their site when ordering. After receiving the info from you, they activate the sim. The person meeting you will help setting it up in your phone. No worries. Don't be sorry, be happy. Cheers.

    SIM card Madrid Airport

    That's the one. I ordered from them for my trip starting May the 10th. Had the Orange sim delivered in the States(Florida😜). Everything went according to their advertisement. Excellent and friendly service. Enjoy!

    Pocket knives on trains

    Those of us in America remember as well and I in particular for having lived in Spain. By no means was I trying to diminish the importance of the security measures put in place as a result of that bombing. I was just stating a fact.

    Pocket knives on trains

    I had the axact same experience in Malaga last spring. No consideration whatsoever for a pilgrim at the start of his long peregrination. The AVE is a killer for security.

    iPhone cord and plug

    It shouldn't be a problem concerning weight. I have been carrying one in my backpack for the last 5 years without undue effect. Enjoy!

    SIM card

    Vodafone? No thanks! Last May-June in Spain I purchased a vodafone prepaid SIM. Thirty days later, even after three visits to three different Vodafone stores it still wasn't working. A waste of money. I had a similar experience with Orange. With my PrepaidZero card, not only am I functional...

    Phone service in France and Spain

    Forget Vodafone prepaid sim. Presently on a camino, I bought one 15 days ago and it has yet to work. A visit to three different Vodafone stores along the way resulted in nothing but blank stares.

    Plain ol' sheet?

    That's the set-up I've been using for many years now and I'm fully satisfied. The only variation is that I used velcro rather than sewing it. That way I can modify the opening according to needs. As for weight, I use a light and confortable coton material.
