Future: Camino Portugues (2020)
Hi all
I am really new to this forum and so thankful I have found it. You are all wonderful people, especially Ivar who runs it.
I will be walking the Camino Portugues with my husband next year (we are ~65) and he is adamant we should do the coastal route even though I have heard that there is nowhere to buy something to drink (or to pee!) on that route. It will be our first Camino except for a 'taster' we did around 4-5 years ago on the Frances from Logrono to Burgos which was organised by someone else.
My question is, what do you use for carrying water in? I read in google that when trekking one needs to take 1/2 litre (2 cups) of water for every hour that you walk, and that's a lot! The worst of the problem is that I am not queasy about the taste of anything in life EXCEPT for the taste of water! Does anybody have experience with the new ''hydration packs' and what water tastes like with them? I have a feeling the water in them would taste rubbery or just plain foul, and I also wonder about how to keep something like that hygienic. Or maybe someone can recommend something different, preferably made of stainless steel (LOL) and not too heavy?
