      I'm not sure how many times the guidebook said that a fountain was just up ahead only to find that it wasn't working or had a sign marking it "non potable." I burned through water on my Camino, especially during the early days. Half a liter...

      That is the only spot I fell on the whole Camino. Luckily enough it was lined with thorn bushes to break my fall. But I'd say the most dangerous section is the decent from the big hill after Castrojeriz. It was pouring rain and the concrete was...
