A question : Assuming you get a colab pro from spanish IP, did you get any roadblock to get access or did you had to fake your country ? I did not try as my country is not listed...
Hola @jotakrevs, super post ! I will give a try to your modified notebooks for sure. Thx for the mention.
Hi, @lavista
A note for esrgan, there is a slow free usable demo at https://huggingface.co/spaces/akhaliq/Real-ESRGAN. Can be useful when you're out of quota on colab.

How are you?
Thanks a lot for the link :)Hi @dbddv01 ,
Hi Lavista, well i'm fine and discovering your cool artwork.
Hope the notebooks are useful for you, I'm glad you liked them!
I just faced that issue. Colab pro is only available in USA, so when you try to get a pro account, it asks for an USA zip code. But that's all, they don't ask for anything else, you just need to put there a USA ZIP code. They don't seem to be checking IP's although it may happen eventually... Hope they leave me in peace lol
From this stackoverflow post:
About Colab quota, for both free and pro users, is a quota based in google accounts, nor IP's. What I was doing before get pro version, was just to switch to other Google account, when I ran out of usage time. With 2 accounts one can cover almost all the day (unless you never sleep).
But is good to know that there is a webpage offering Real-ESRGAN. Lol is the same of Dall-e, but never noticed until you linked it in your comment.
Regards and grab your !PIZZA!

Cool. thx for dedicated answer. I also use the "two accounts" trick for extended time ;-) but getting a decent gpu is the main driver to get the Colab pro. Will think definetely think about it.
Get pro is a very substancial change, I think the 10$ month account is worthy. After they got ride of the thousand of bots, now I'm getting again T4 and sometimes P100 GPU.
Cheers!
