[QUOTE="marc3l, post: 302422, member: 18756"] Today, I just walk from Oviedo - Premolo only, and seem to stop it (for now) due to safety concern. The walk is beautiful from Oviedo -Escamplero...clear skies, good weather, beautiful scenery. I start around 11am fr Oviedo. Then, in Escamplero at 2PM, a man totally naked showing himself. He is inside a house (with yard) and opening the gate (not sure to close it or open it wider), and speak to me in Spanish. I just ignored and walked away...then after 10-20 metres, I saw a road (where the path meets a road), I took picture of the place/not his house, to remind me where exactly the point is. I thought I will share this info to this Forum later. My thinking normally an exhibionist will not do anything if we just simply ignore them (I hv seen this few times), and then second I thought he is doing this inside his house (and maybe by law it is ok for to be naked in their own property - I am not sure about this). This is my first mistake, I should go to police immediately (not delaying it further). Then, I continue to walk to Premolo (without stopping). Then, the same man waits in the path, do the same (this time wearing shirt n trousers). I just walked away. He grabbed my hands but somehow I am holding walking poles, so it was unsucessful. Then, he is very angry and pushed his body against me several times and speak in Spanish. I run...and he is following...lucky after 20 metres I saw road, he turn left and say No problem2 and disappeared. I filed report to police in Grado. Even we came to the house and asking questions for that man. The police is really professional and helpful. So, after 5 hours with the police and all the reporting stuffs accompanied by interpretaror, I went back to Oviedo (now by taxi). I decided to stop my Primitivo for now (maybe oneday will come back later). I am really scared he is following at me, because fr the first to second thing, I did not see anyone passing by me ..but he was already there in front of me. And then it is easy for him if he wants to specifically targetting at me (bcoz of my asian look and the route is remote, during the day only see 2 other pilgrim, a young couple - and he can predict ) I am shaking now still in my hotel room. But, I hope this will not make other solo female afraid. We just need to make sure to report to police, so others will not experience the same things. And most ppl are wonderful/and wiling to help. I received support from a bar in Premolo (a family bar). I hv the name and address. Will update about this wonderful ppl later. Regards, M [/QUOTE]
