Hi,
You MUST be jocking, WIFI in Spain!!!!!, ... HA ... I travel
around all the time in Spain and it is very very hard to find wifi setups
(which work); take for instance Malaga airport, one would expect having
wifi in the airport right,  , WRONG!, no wifi for public usage... and this is so in a lot of
airports around Spain...
I bought myself a loptop wifi incorporated but was unable to use it in most
of the places, and the places where I could use it, they charges so much
money that it was not worth it ....
So, I switched again over to dialup and GPRS when I am travelling in Spain
and limit my use just to download and send emails, all other internet stuff
I do when I have broadband.
I use providers like gonuts4free tiscali.es and spansurf which are
more than sufficient in order to send/receive when I am on the road.
The problem is I think is that these companies like Telefonica etc who
control wifi mean good but the technology is not really there... |

Same experience here last week ( 10/06) - very patchy coverage.
Hotel chain SolMelia are first rate. The Parador hotel chain is OK, but
dear, and only if you have a Windows box - my Linux laptop wouldn't work.
The big disappointment was Fon - which is an excellent sharing network
originating from Spain. I've signed up for it, but outside the cities
takeup seems very poor, and in the region I was in, only one ap existed in
a 20 sq mile area - and on the day I needed it that wasn't working!
So, best if you can just survive with the free internet access at Spanish
public libraries!!
Cheers
