[QUOTE="hecate105, post: 144090, member: 3265"] I think we have to remember that some humans behave badly - they could be pilgrims or not. They could be on a camino route, but mostly not. By weight of numbers there are more crimes against people (muggings etc) in cities/towns. It is unlikely to happen - but sometimes it does. In a lifetime travelling in Europe I have only had two instances. Once a pickpocket tried to get in my bag on a train in Madrid (luckily I noticed and whilst I tried to muster enough Spanish to swear at the guy in his own language - I am so polite!) my husband pushed him off the train. Then a couple of weeks ago in the South of France a young guy checked me out as he went by - as I am overweight and late 40s (and really not his type!) - this set off a small alarm bell and I realised he had followed me and was part way into my bag - this time I just stuck with good old Anglo-Saxon... So I think it doesn't hurt to be vigilant and sensible with hiding valuables etc, but we oughtn't give into fear - don't change your life because of what some lowlife might do! [/QUOTE]
