Yes. You will find tabac stores for recharging most any plan in most cities (but not villages). You will find Vodaphone stores only in the very large cities. Vodaphone mostly served us well for reserving. I learned a few phrases in Spanish which got me a reservation.I arrived at Compostela with a recharge that I have made in a "tabac" shop in Saint Jean.
Yep. But the procedure is somewhat complicated. The lady in the "tabac" store (I was in SJPP) kindly helped me, and she spent almost three minutes struggling with the system. I can't imagine how could I have done it, especially when I receive instructions in a language that I only half understand. Better to ask for help where you buy your recharging, if possible.Yes.
