The Camino de Santiago is punctuated by small towns, villages and hamlets, all welcome watering holes.  This section shows only the main ones (in their Camino sequence), important either for nostalgic reasons or, equally significantly, the availability of a nice cold beer.

Somewhat disappointingly, on my return (by car) in 2014, they all seemed rather uninspiring, partly because I was not thirsty, partly due to the absence of the Camino spirit, partly the incessant rain and probably more importantly, you only see the messy bits from the road.  So, if you find yourself in this part of the world, do not be put off by the unprepossessing landscape, but get out and walk a bit away from the centres of these villages along the Camino and into the countryside.
