Good evening

good to see you posting, I hope you are both recovered from El Rocio. Sorry can't help you, I know nothing about them.

Hi Val. Just about recovered now thanks. Great time on the camino and the camping at El Rocio was great. We had some lovely neighbours there with a huge family and they called us in for several delicious traditional meals. The old girl's paella (cooked for 50 people) was the highlight

Singing, dancing and lots of boozing. Typical Spanish religious festival really

Sounds great ! one day we might make there, hope to see you next time you are in the country. You got lots of photos ?

Next year, when we're retired, come with us. We've got loads of camping gear and the Defender is great fun in the deep sand. Had some interesting challenges with the Sankey trailer towing behind this time. Not as many pictures this year an in previous pilgrimages. See you soon.

Sorry Brian it looks like no one is

Pity. However, before buying our house over here, I bought my Spanish SIM from 0044.co.uk. They seem quite clued up on the Spanish mobile scene so, as an existing customer, I have sent the query to them. I'll post any reply here.

My husband uses a blackberry but it is a work phone so I can´t provide info on tariffs but can say the phone works fine. He is on movistar and gets very good coverage.

If you go into somewhere like the phone warehouse (in most commercial centres) you can get a booklet which provides all the tariffs so you can compare.

Good luck hope you find a good provider.
