Tap water is fine, just tangy from the minerals, we stopped using bottled water in an attempt to cut down on single use plastic.

We got 2 Brita filters one for fridge and one for tea, certainly makes shopping easier,  no dragging all those heavy bottles around and it's better for the environment....

...

It's the plastic bottles filling up landfill that are a huge concern- to be avoided at all cost.

We keep a Brita filter jug in the fridge . The tap water is quite hard but ok to drink ..but I do like it ice cold so out the fridge works well for me. Although ima bit like Villas…I only drink it when the wine runs out ;)

We use bottled water for drinking, compared to the U.K. it is not a rip off, a 5 litre bottle is less than a Euro or six 2 litre bottles less than 2 Euros in Consum Supermarket.

Filter jug here.

We live in Javea and my Spanish friend’s do not drink the tap water in the summer. They tell me it is not safe. I use the tap water when boiling in kettle or pan of vegetables. The water does not taste nice any time of the year.
