If there was bad water in Carrion de los Condes, wouldn't the people of Carrion de los Condes be sick, too? If a restaurant in Fromista was selling bad food, wouldn't enough locals get sick that they'd figure it out and shut it down? Why is it...

So….. we had 1 inch of rain here at home in a 4 hour period. We found it and opportunity to test our packs/setup. We hiked 12 miles in pure downpour. We both wore shorts and no pack covers as mine is waterproof and his Osprey has a waterproof...
