💡 Tip: Watch for “Agua sin tratar” – Not Safe to Drink In rural areas like Vall de Laguar, you may come across fountains or taps labeled "Agua sin tratar" — this means untreated water, and it’s not safe for drinking unless you have a filter. Always look for signs or ask locals if you’re unsure. When in doubt, refill only at official drinking water points connected to the municipal supply.
