Is water availability on the Norte similar to the Frances? Do the towns all have fountains for refilling your water supply? I know I can go into bars as well, but would like to know about fountains too. I love the way Brierley noted water sources in his guide, but seems my Norte guides don't have similar information. Thank you!!!
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Towns may have fountains, villages unlikely. Some childrens' playgrounds often have them and the beach areas with 'showers' on the beach. We bought bottled water so did not need to seek out supplies.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I picked up the Wise Pilgrim guidebook to the Norte and it actually shows where water fountains are. I don't know if the app does the same.

The app doesn't show the water fountains. At least not the version I have.
@wisepilgrim, if it is technically possible, that's a suggestion for improvement.
That would allow me to leave my guide book at home and just use the app.

So do we need to carry 2-3 liters of water?
Do we need to bring filter/treatment to get water from creeks/lakes?
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

We carried about 3lt's between 2 of us on hot days. Filled up with bottled water. We have not used a filter ever on the Camino.
