them in that order, Carlos may be able to give some suggestions/pointers
for Spain. If Ken could indicate how much minutes/'texts'/GB he would

Orange had a nice offer two years ago, but I don't know currently.
Almost unlimited usage for 50 or 60 euros, for a month.

to use it, but just want something available in case I need to.

Barcelona and surprised me by finding a very good deal I did not know about.
