Hola, Tina!Is the water along the camino safe to drink or would it be better to bring my steripen (a UV light to treat water)? The steripen isn't heavy but I would need to bring a couple extra batteries and it's weight I would rather not have to have.
I leave in 1 week (oh my goodness) and am so excited. Thank for any advice.
Buen camino!!!!
Is the water along the camino safe to drink ...
There are usually bars every 5-10 km with bottled water and beer, tap water is safe and tastes great. I personally would avoid the drinking fountains etc. Burn caminoIs the water along the camino safe to drink or would it be better to bring my steripen (a UV light to treat water)?

I think I'm starting to get nervous as I leave Monday and will be going solo. I am so excited that I can hardly wait. I only have 2 more work shifts and then it's me and the camino.
Buen camino to all!!!
Purified cow piss is still cow piss.
Thank you for your link to your pack list. And to answer you about the Steripen, I do have one as I've done mission trips to a remote area of Panama and it was needed. I actually love it and use it often when I'm there. I hope to learn from your experience. Thanks again. Buen Camino.Tina, just a word of caution. If you even know what a Steripen is, let alone have one, you have probably done some backpacking. The Camino is not a backpacking trip, and some of the assumptions I had formed backpacking served me quite poorly (almost disastrously) on the Camino. I've attempted to summarize my mistakes here: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...orked-what-did-not-for-a-summer-camino.31137/
Lest you repeat any of my mistakes, and are therefore free to invent your own.
Buen Camino.
