If only occasionally then no problem on the Frances. It will be a rare day that you cannot get WiFi in an albergue or a cafe at some point in your day.I'd like to keep up to date occasionally
Hi, WiFi is almost everywhere on the Camino.What is WiFi like on the Camino Frances? Is it only available in larger cities (like Pamplona)? What about smaller village albergues? I appreciate the idea is to walk free from outside influences, but I'd like to keep up to date occasionally. Thanks.

"Tienes WiFi por favor?" (Do you have WiFi please?) pronounced whiffee.
"La clave WiFi?" (the WiFi key?)
They often have the key on a slip of paper but you can always just offer them the phone with a pleading look?
Thank you.Hi, WiFi is almost everywhere on the Camino.
Wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.

Really valuable advice. Thank you (and I hope I don't meet those people!)There were only two bars/cafes I stopped in last year that did not have WiFi (pronounced "wee-fee" in Europe). Some signals are wide open and do not need a password, others are password protected. Some bartenders post the password prominently somewhere behind the bar, others demand to input the password themselves into your phone (they want it kept a secret). Regardless, you will have two or three opportunities a day to check messages and upload photos to Facebook.
However, please note that Europeans believe conversations on FaceTime and Skype should not bother others. Notice how most Europeans take their phones to a corner of the bar and almost whisper into their phones. If someone is talking loudly in a public space, it's usually an American ("then the doctor lanced the boil on his back and green puss was everywhere! You could not believe the smell! I almost passed out! It was horrible! Hold on Mark, I've got a couple of people at the next table staring at me. They look really angry. Oh, they are saying that they would like to eat their food in peace. Typical stuck up French people. Let me walk outside. Anyway, as I was saying . . . ")
Thanks.WiFi is almost everywhere; but the quality and speed vary a lot!

Actually, it's contraseña. Don't forget the tilde over the ñ.Contrasena is another Spanish term for password.
"Ñ" is a rare letter of the Spanish language.Actually, it's contraseña. Don't forget the tilde over the ñ.
Remember if you use a bar buy something I have seen some Pilgrims that don't.We are finding that we can't on in some bars/cafes. And some municipal albergues do not have wifi. But that's OK am ables spend more visiting with other pilgrims. Tonight's wifi in this Albergue is great.
I only recall one alburgue that didn't have WiFi, but I recall many that had lousy WiFi.What is WiFi like on the Camino Frances? Is it only available in larger cities (like Pamplona)?

We found the biggest problem with wifi in the albergues was inadequate bandwidth in the late afternoon and in the evening as pilgrims began arriving or checking messages, posting to blogs, etc just before or after dinner time. That seems to slow down or even drop the connections at times. Another problem can be signal strength when too far away from the hotspot in some of the old buildings with thick stone walls.WiFi is almost everywhere; but the quality and speed vary a lot!
or italian gn, as in lasagna"Ñ" is a rare letter of the Spanish language.
Their sound is hard to explain.
But it can help as example the final sound of Espa"ña"
Another example for English speakers is the "ny" in the English word "canyon." The Spanish equivalent is "cañon," which happens to mean the same thing in both languages. "Grand Canyon" = "Cañon Grande"or italian gn, as in lasagna
