   And this because entities like Eroski says you can only have their app   
   if you are permanently living in Spain and have a Spanish phone.   
   Visitors are not allowed. This is ridiculous.   
      
   I have some Canadian applications because I visit there when I can.   
   Things for finding the correct city bus, for instance. I see I have been   
   fortunate that they did not geoblock it.
