I have read a few threads and had some conversations recently where people walking routes off the French Way for the first time were genuinely surprised that you can't get breakfast, second breakfast, lunch (and presumably afternoon tea with scones and crumpets) and frequent ice cold water top-ups on other caminos.
So I thought I had better spell out for everybody's safety and comfort that the French Way is an all-day buffet compared with many other routes in Spain, where you can assume that you have to bring all your water, lunch and snacks EVERY DAY.
Here is a little vignette from the visitors' book at the public albergue in Mérida, Via de la Plata.
They are saying:
"No tengo agua. Cuantos kilometros mas?"
"16"
