Wise Pilgrim APPSponsored by the Bodegas Irache, this is a fountain that dispenses both water and wine. Yes, really. A plaque on the wall reads: "If you want to go to Santiago with strength and vitality, of this great wine have a drink and toast to happiness." Another sign reminds you not to abuse the generosity.
The wine is Irache's basic table wine — perfectly drinkable if not exactly a revelation. The fountain operates during daylight hours and the supply occasionally runs dry on very busy days. A webcam lets armchair pilgrims watch from home.
The fountain sits beside the entrance to the Monasterio de Irache. Fill your bottle with water (from the water tap, not the wine one) and move on, or sit at the picnic tables opposite and enjoy the absurdity of free wine at 10 in the morning.
