Getting a Spanish SIM card in Sevilla or Madrid

[Rajy62]

Anyone knows where in Sevilla (or madrid) I could get a local Spanish SIM card?

I like Vodafone. I've used it every year and have never had problems using or upping the card.
It has worked for me everywhere along the Camino and is quite inexpensive.
I think I paid about 30 euros last year for the entire Camino.

where did you pick that up? At the airport? or local stores in spain?

If you're staying in Madrid, there is a Vodafone right up the street from Atocha rail station.
Just check a local map or Google Maps or ask a local.
They're everywhere. (Vodafone)

Great, thanks.

No problem. I found they spoke English and were quite helpful.

Annie, I always use Movistar -- do you have any experience comparing the two? Just wondering if rates and/or coverage are likely to be similar.

No. I actually haven't compared. I've been so happy with Vodafone.
So maybe that's another option for someone who is looking...

Across the street from the Plaza de Armas bus station is a cell phone store.

Good guy runs the place.

Has all of your needs there.

The store is on same side of the street as the bus station. (River side)

Not on the old train station side (now shopping mall)

Will post address later

I always use Orange. There is a shop in Plaza del Sol in Madrid and in Triana in Seville.
