I really have to watch my electrolytes, and the Tang mix I use is easy to have on hand at home, but on the Camino, I will rely on Aquarius. No extra weight to carry.<br />Have a great day<br />RitaRitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585084509914920085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925198817503557457.post-37737433948124525862009-08-13T03:33:16.573-04:002009-08-13T03:33:16.573-04:00Hi Rita ...

Thanks for all your input.
My co...Hi Winter Pilgrim<br />Thanks for all your input.<br />My concern with the tang drink is more for electrolytes than contamination. I have been to Spain many times and know the water is good to drink.<br />But I have had problems with electrolytes in the past, so for me it is important to make sure they stay balanced.<br />Thanks for stopping by. Keep writing about the Camino, as it is very helpful for those of us who have not walked yet and are trying to learn as much as we can before walking the Camino.<br />Hugs<br />RitaRitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585084509914920085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925198817503557457.post-54935131585001256872009-08-12T18:32:39.122-04:002009-08-12T18:32:39.122-04:00Hi Barb

Thanks for visiting my blog, now I can follo...Rita,<br />Thanks for visiting my blog, now I can follow yours. I've read all your entries and look forward to your arrival on the Camino.<br /><br />Reading your entries, particularly about the Tang (!?), let me add from experience that the water, plentifully available along the camino for the scores of people you'll walk with every day, is from deep underground - containing all sorts of minerals needed by the body; the cafés and bars along the way cater to the needs of pilgrims. This has been the way for a thousand years. I haven't heard of anyone getting ill from the pilgrim fountains, and it's certainly in the interest of the local authorities to ensure the water is consumable.<br /><br />If the water isn't enough, consider the two most widely consumed drinks by European pilgrims and hikers in general, beer or wine with unsweetened carbonated lemon/lime mineral water mixed in (in northern Spain: 'clada' or 'caña/vino con gas') a tasty, inexpensive, natural, refreshing and ancient mineral replacement drink with less than 3% alcohol (for the beer), enough to remove concerns of contamination, but with some carbs along with the minerals.<br /><br />Ultreia and buen camino!Winter Pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650746005042778658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925198817503557457.post-78970070083184226352009-08-12T18:18:13.815-04:002009-08-12T18:18:13.815-04:00How exciting, Rita!

I know people who walked to Santiago de Compostela and they told about it, but you showed the certificate, the stamps,the Credential, and you told about the places where you could stay.
