Whre do I recharge my SIM card in Spain

I'm new at this. Can anybody tell me in what kind of establishments I can recharge my phone SIM card when in Spain? In other words, where do I buy more minutes?

Thank you!

At most ATM machines
At any Movistar, Vodafone or Amena shop
By phone
On the internet
And at kiosks or news stands showing the words "Se recargan móviles" or something of the kind.

But you must have a valid SIM card belonging to any of the Spanish mobile operators...if not, check with your mobile company for info.

As Mikel notes, you can recharge your phone at several locations, if you have a European bank based credit card. If not, then your options are limited to your service provider; MoviStar, Vodafone and Amena are the main services providers in Spain. All three have sales stores; several in every city, so finding the correct one shouldn't be a problem.

There is no fee to recharge in the sales store, but I recently noted that there where some stores offering to recharge your sim card for a 5-euro service fee. I'd keep away from them.

Mikel,
We were going to call you last weekend while at the Palacio Urgoiti, but you know how things go sometimes. We did try your restaurant recommendation, Calmado Imbarico, mid-week. Lunch was excellent, and very reasonably priced.

We'll write later.
