"W,W, W"...WiFi, Water and Wine

In that order. Keeping in touch with you dear readers is very important. We check for WiFi  everywhere we stop..town squares, cafes and hostels. In town squares it is easy enough with no password.  The alburgues usually have short easy passwords. The bars and cafes can be down right annoying with 20 character passwords and you are guessing between Os and zeros, and Is and ones and you want to scream.
Water is important of course but there are many water taps for us pilgrim's and cafes for the various other  libations. 
Do you have any idea how magical it is to come in off a hot trail and find a cafe in a tiny town which keeps big mugs in the freezer? The beer is so cold there are ice crystals floating in the froth. Excellant!!!! 
It becomes a bit of a game to only carry as much water as you think you need for each leg of the walk. See a town on the horizon; take a good drink from your jug and dump the rest. Water is weight. Sometimes you plan a bit short and you start counting what fruit you may have in your bag. We are not going to expire out here in a matter of 10 km but we think we might. :-)
Then there is the wine. Wine here is cheaper than almost any other drink you can name and it is everywhere. It has become the standard drink of the evening. It is served with every Pilgrim meal; 4E to take a bottle from a barman to your patio table and 2E from the supermarcado. ( 1.5E for a can of pop) . It is easy to see why wine is the first choice for discerning  pilgrims.
