I'd say it depends on what you're like. I've drank the local tap water in the Canary Islands and never come to any harm. If it's something you're worried about then play safe and buy the bottled stuff marked 'sin gas'.

as a regular to the area i have never had any problem with the water.
i do drink bottled water with meals, but i drink the con gas stuff -ie fizzy water - purely through choice. i dont even drink the water in the uk, preferring to drink fizzy here as well.
as regards ice - well i have this in all my drinks and the only thing it seems to do is give me a headache(but that may be the vodka).
if you have doubts then you are probably best to buy bottled water, but to use it for cleaning teeth etc is , i think, over the top.

I go along with Jim, i do buy bottled water for drinking when out and about
but clean my teeth with the tap water also have the ice in my drinks , and eat the salads
never had a problem . But each to their own and you have to do whats best for you .

Thank you for your comments, i'm not so concerned i will probably buy water for drinking but not worry about icecubes or toothbrushing. Thanks everyone
