Hi
Just an update since I am back in Spain again. I bought an Orange sim card in Logrono for 9E which gave me unlimited calls and 1 Gb of data last year. Now in Madrid for longer I signed up for a month by month prepago tarjeta with Vodafone. 20E for 1.6 Gb of data and unlimited calls and texts...
I am also walking in September and have packed a 3/4 length Goretex jacket and also a lightweight insulated shell jacket in case of cold. Have I overpacked? Do I need both? Oh and I also have a long sleeve thermal to sleep in for cold nights but could possibly use that instead of the shell??
Has anyone RECENTLY purchased a SIM card before arriving in Spain? I guess people mostly use their phones for booking ahead etc and with the advent of apps like WhatApp and Skype there really isnt a lot of need for calls sms etc mainly DATA? Also the ability to upload to the internet photos etc...
