If you enter "water quality" into the Search box on the upper right, you'll find lots of good stuff. Here are 2 recent threads:Since I wasn't able to find anything about this on this forum,
What?????have 3 kidneys
Hello,
Will be commencing on my first Camino this fall. From everything that I have read, the drinking water is safe to drink untreated, and it is safe to fill up bottles from public fountains, cafes etc. found in towns and villages along the Camino Frances.
However, I recently spoke with someone who drank only bottled water that she bought.
Is it at all necessary to buy bottled water, to "treat" water with purification tablets, or to have a water bottle with a filter?
Since I wasn't able to find anything about this on this forum, I am assuming that the water is fine, just the way it is?
Just wondering if anyone has any advice or has had any unfortunate situations along the route that one should be aware of.
Thanks!
What?????
Don't you know that carrying extra parts is just excess weight to carry around????
The water in Spain is fine to drink apparently... but I do get “controlled” diarrhoea when drinking the fountain water. I do have a sensitive tummy ... my daughter and sister were fine when they walked with me on separate occasions and, as far as I know, most pilgrims are ok drinking from certified fountains...
