Hi all!

We are a group of 4 women, and I just wanted to make you aware of something to be mindful of.

Just before we descended into Campo and Ponferrada early this afternoon, at the top of the final smallish hill was a guy sitting on the right hand side of the road. Likely 40s, dark hair, extremely short shorts. Not a pilgrim. He was tucked back into the bushes a bit.

He did nothing to threaten us, but something about the situation made me very uncomfortable, and I wanted to let women pilgrims, especially those going solo know.

My apology if I’m being overly cautious, and if anyone thinks there’s someone I should report this to-please let me know. Am happy to do so.
