"drinkingwater in the streets" Top 5 Page for this destination Santiago de Compostela Local Custom Tip by globetrott

Santiago de Compostela Local Customs: 43 reviews and 79 photos

Almost in any village along the Camino you will find fountains, where you can find drinkingwater to fill up your hiking-bottle. Except at a very few places this water will always be drinkable, and where it is not, you will find signs warning you !
So it will absolutely not be necassesary to buy any bottled water along the way in a Supermarket.
In Uterga you will also find an old fountain in the centre of the village - my last 4 pictures - BUT this one does NOT have any drinkable water, as you can read on the signpost !
