Tap water on the Camino de Santiago

The question was:

I would like to ask you about drinking the water along the trail…I am used to walking in Nepal where the water is lethal…Do you purify your water on the Camino before you drink it?

Tap water all along the Camino Frances and Portuguese are good to drink. Look for the sign Potable which means drinkable.

You can everywhere drink from Camino-marked fountains, no problem. The signs everywhere well visible.
