Last night I had a really severe tummy bug - the works, for hours. I immediately assumed it was food poisoning and was going to leave it at that.
This morning a guy in the convent said "That happened to me shortly after Hornillos." He also spoke about an old guy he'd met who'd had it as well very recently. I was still unwilling to assume that it was anything other than food poisoning, but then I met another person today. I overheard her say "I'm not walking today. I was up all night sick." I asked her where she ate. "I didn't eat last night. I was already feeling sick."
I suspect there is norovirus moving around in this area right now, so be extra vigilant washing your hands etc.
I don't want this post to be hijacked into slanging/defending the fountains. It's just as likely human spread noro as a bad fountain. But I've been drinking from them so just be vigilant. I've lost a day to it, and likely a few pounds weight... Plus the cost of a hotel room where I've slept all day...
