<DIV>There are exceptions - the public wc next to the Santa Susanna park</DIV>
<DIV>in Santiago comes to mind since I was there earlier today - but in general the situation was summarized on a Spanish soap opera that my companion was watching, in which a bank heist was in progress when</DIV>
<DIV>one of the perpetrators needed to go and sure enough, the servicio in the bank was out of papel hygienico. Assume there isnī't any and you </DIV>
<DIV>will be pleasantly surprised from time to time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Harder to deal with is the general lack of public wc's in Spain (compared</DIV>
<DIV>to France) aside from e.g. major parks and plazas in major cities. In</DIV>
<DIV>the country you have to visit a bar, if you can find one.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear All</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks to all the replies to my previous questions which were very helpful. 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.</FONT></DIV>
