LIVE from the Camino Piscine municipals

[rsvp125]

Go swimming at the end of the day in the municipal swimming pools. Most small towns have them, and for 2 or 3 Euros: it's a great way to cool off and relax. Estella would have to be my pick; indoor pool, sauna, spa baths that practically cured my walking injuries!

Although I am still just dreaming of the time I can Set off, I was thinking how much I would appreciate relaxing in a pool after a long walk along the Camino and since I hadn't read anything about pools in this forum yet decided to give it a search! Thanks for your post rsvp125!

A lot of municipal pools in Spain will insist on you wearing a swimming cap. Sometimes they'll lend you one (nasty) but they don't always sell them. They don't weigh anything so remember to pack one.

Good to know! Thanks for the heads up!

The albergue in Boente (about 5 (??) km from Melide) also has a small pool, inaugurated this year I believe. Great albergue, too, at least if you don't have to sleep in the overflow room. The owner told me that big room was rarely open outside of August. Buen camino, Laurie
