Toilet facilities

[Lydia Banales]

I found the restrooms in bars invariably clean. Not always with paper,
however. Being a nurse, I am very sensitive to los microbios. My husband
laughs at me, but I always carry toilet seat covers and several packs of
tissues. The tissues also have multiple uses and the packs are very
small and light. I also carry a small container of Purel, a hand
sanitizer very much available in the States. It is basically bleach in a
gel solution. A few drops on the hands and I feel cleaner even where
there is no soap in the restroom, another common occurrence. Lydia

I've looked through the archives and have not found anything relating to toilet facilities on the Camino: In the refugios, On the Camino, In towns and villages.Is toilet paper a must to carry. Can I get some feedback on this most important of functions. Having spent time travelling in the far and near east I'm prepared for anything, but knowledge is strength. Look forward to seeing everyone in September.I arrive in Madrid on the morning of the 15th and am looking to make my way to Pamplona and maybe Rouncevalles that same day.
