I'm going to Port Ventura (Hotel) next week and probably unlike the majority of people who go to theme park based holidays, I would be much happier browsing MSE than terrifying myself on rides.

Has anyone who has been to the park (or may just happen to know), know what the Internet access is like at Porta Ventura (Theme Park and/or Hotel?).

Alternatively does anyone know what Wi-Fi is like in Salou or a cheap way of getting online in Spain with a mobile, Most UK sims cards charge upwards of £6 per mb?

(I have searched the net without success, and all the hotel website says is WI-FI available, but no details, like where or how much etc)

    A couple of years ago the cheapest way to get temporary mobile internet access in Spain was to get a Yoigo PAYG SIM card (http://www.yoigo.es/), which is capped at €1.20 per day for data access. I don't know if any of the other providers are offering comparable deals these days. Yoigo's 3G coverage is not brilliant outside the cities, so you may only get GPRS.

    You can get Yoigo SIM cards at branches of The Phone House and Carrefour supermarkets for about €20, including some credit. Top-ups can be bought at Internet cafes (locutorios), Tabacs and various other locations.

    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning
