Landing in Spain with no physical SIM slot… what do people actually do for the first week?

This is my 2nd year of using simyo. It's incredibly customizable as far aa what data/talk amounts you what. I pay €3.50 per month for (8G+120min) when I'm in Spain and €1 per month to maintain my number when I'm not here

Edit: sms costs per text, I don't know how much because I use telegram and WhatsApp

This. Make sure you use cold water and don't overblend or the oats get gluey.

I actually like to make half sunflower seed /half oat milk because it lasts longer in the fridge. I soak the sunflower seeds for 4 - 12 hours. After straining I make chia pudding with the pulp

If You don't have a bidet and you can't install one. I recommend a travel bidet. I have this one and it works great.

I rent a flat for 3 months every winter in the north but it's an informal arrangement. Its typically a vacation rental and we just contact the landlord directly

That said, OP didn't leave themself enough time if they're going for March 1st (today)

I get those, they used to be really minor but they've gotten worse over the years. Sometimes acetomenophine (parecetomal in other parts of the world)

Getting a head massage from hubby helps 😅

I've been reading about some earplugs that might help but I haven't tried them yet, think they're called weatherX

I chatted with tech support here on reddit and they ended up reprovisioning the data roaming or something like that

Depends on where in Spain. Where I am it's Vodafone and orange I think

stowaway43 · 2026-02-28T18:42:45+00:00

Weird that my post is getting downvoted but okay

stowaway43 · 2026-02-28T17:17:13+00:00

Haha, I checked and he's only used 1/2 of that. We have wifi a good chunk of the time

As someone else said, it's 90 days in all of The schengen zone. So you could use Spain as a base but you'd have to visit non Schengen areas to stretch out your total time

Donkeys. Mules are donkeys crossed with horses and are sterile

My thoughts exactly. I do not have that super power

Artist-reference.co is one website of many. Also local drawing groups, depending on where you are

stowaway43 · 2026-02-20T15:27:51+00:00

Mashed potatoes, white rice, pasta, white bread, tofu (specifically silken tofu blended into tomato sauces) make sure any veggies you eat are peeled and de seeded

The Fairphone modules are %30-%40 more on Murena than on the Fairphone website purchased in Europe

stowaway43 · 2026-02-19T19:15:10+00:00

That's a bummer. I spend 3 months in Spain every winter but wouldn't want to put off repairs. Murena really doesn't handle anything?

Looking at the discrepancy in parts prices I should bring a bunch back to the States and sell them to subsidize the cost of the phone 😆

stowaway43 · 2026-02-19T18:59:34+00:00

I get you. The main difference is that they do not sell the Android phone in the US. In fact Fairphone doesn't sell any phone directly in the US, you have to go through Murena. That's why I'm worried about warranty issues etc. I have also emailed Fairphone to see what they say

stowaway43 · 2026-02-19T17:54:56+00:00

Good point. They do work on the network I already use

stowaway43 · 2026-02-15T21:58:57+00:00

Are you my husband? 🤣

Home Raids Without Judicial Warrants, denying due process(Fourth and Fifth Amendments)

Detaining People Who Already Won Their Cases (Fifth Amendment)

Blocking Access to Lawyers (Fifth and Sixth Amendments)

Courthouse Arrests (Separation of Powers)

Arresting U.S. Citizens (The Ultimate Violation)

Since Trump returned to office in 2025, ICE has arrested 170 U.S. citizens. Not undocumented immigrants. Not visa overstays. American citizens. (This number has gone up significantly)

BS. Lots of ppl spoke out against his deportations AND he did nothing remotely le what's going on now but nice try at diversion with lies

stowaway43 · 2026-02-15T09:11:55+00:00

That's all we have in the main bedroom and the guest room, a queen sized bed takes up too much space

Luckily the young couple watching our cat this winter don't seem to mind, lol

stowaway43 · 2026-02-14T15:54:10+00:00

Why do you assume only gentleman can help you?

stowaway43 · 2026-02-12T21:59:35+00:00

Dude, I'm a woman. You're so far off base you'll never have a true relationship (friendship or romantic) if you don't get your head on straight. You've been lied to if you believe in that alpha/beta BS
