Along the Camino Frances I have seen images of water spouts in many areas. Are they safe to drink from ?

For the most part, yes.
Watch for the words “potable” (safe to drink) and “no potable” (unsafe to drink).
An afterthought. You might also see “agua tratada” (treated water) and “agua no tratada” (untreated water). Untreated doesn’t AUTOMATICALLY mean UNSAFE, so it depends upon your personal level of caution.

In towns when in doubt ask the locals, they will always know.

They may also be marked as water quality not guaranteed. I forget the wording but you'll likely recognize it. The sign saves the town some money getting the water tested periodically. The water can be safe to drink though. Ask a local.

I have enjoyed the water from many of them. No problemas -- yet. Buen Camino
