Water bottle carrier. Simple

St James' Way - Self-guided 4-7 day Walking Packages, Reading to Southampton, 110 kms
Nifty. Sure it'll work for some, I'd need at least three of them, I drink a lot of water when I walk.

Wife used that Aqua Clip for over 1000km on our Camino last year — worked like a charm! Easy to learn find online

Just got them today the inventor Brian Cizek is from states he was hiking and used a wire coathanger to experiment at first.He then got a manufacturer to produce them.
They do not float about and can be attached to you bag or waist belt etc..
Simple idea,, you can look at them on youtube around three dollars each mention Camino.
 
That's a pretty nifty idea.

I drilled a hole in the cap of a Smart Water bottle, connected a flexible tube to a Simple Shower 12" rigid tube, and stuck the tube through the hole in the cap to the bottom of the bottle. I put the bottle in my bottle carrier on my pack (the mesh pocket on the side) and run the tubing up the side and through some straps on my shoulder strap. Keeps the tube opening near my mouth and allows me to carry 1.5 liter bottle on my pack.

Hoping that fellow pilgrims will consider not using single use plastic water bottles on the pilgrimage. How about something like this that holds an infinitely reusable one? https://www.hyperlitemountaingear.com/products/porter-water-bottle-holder-nalgene
I use and love these https://www.eddiebauer.com/product/stanley-adventure-steel-water-bottle-27-oz/82200024 because the top screws off and the top is wide enough to clean the inside very well unlike other bottles with narrow openings.
I personally made a pledge to myself about 5 years ago after seeing some serious plastic pollution in places that I have traveled to never use a plastic water bottle again. Might others consider challenging themselves to do the same? Not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers, but I can't help it, just the sight of them is upsetting to me.
When I've traveled in countries where the water quality is questionable I've used this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EHF99A/?tag=casaivar02-20 (got mine for almost half the price new but in opened box off ebay) and also boil water and set out overnight to cool or used tablets. However, sounds like clean water will be available everywhere in Spain and I won't need my Lifesaver bottle which is a good thing because it is heavy.
 
I take the sports Smartwater bottle from home and refill them. They last an entire Camino and then I toss them before coming home. The plastic is firmer than your normal disposable bottles and holds up while being super light.
