[QUOTE="Marycamino, post: 44934, member: 8151"] Hi, I felt completely safe as a woman alone on the camino in August 2009 even though the temperature was so hot that I needed to walk before dawn with a head torch to get 5-10kms done before sunrise most days. You know the other pilgrims are never far away because of the music of the batons on the ground! I must say it was rare to be alone because I always talked to the people around me in whatever language I could muster up and I walked in a group of people which formed naturally one evening in an albergue. There were Spanish, German, Franco-anglaise, and Peruvians - all ages 25-50. We keep in touch now and I'm planning the next camino at Easter with my daughter and Spanish friends from that group. It was really a great experience ... don't hesitate to go alone - you'll have more contacts with others! ( I only met 2 English people on the path, mainly Spanish, German, Italian, French ... but if you like languages it's a great place to share) [/QUOTE]
