[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 32905"] Two (male) friends of mine did the Plata last April and found it very empty -they did meet up with folk but it was very quiet compared to the Frances - 9,000 a year compared to 138,000?. They also said that they sometimes had very long walks between refugios and sometimes had to stay in hotels. However, they also said that it was utterly wonderful, beautiful, splendid and stunningly friendly as locals weren't 'jaded' as they can be on the Frances. They said that they met some women and they seemed ok and quite content. It is an interesting thing isnt it, the perception of violence and attack. In any UK city the most vulnerable people to violent attack are, in this order, black males 16 to 21, white males 16 to 21, black males 22 to 32, white males 22 to 32, and only then women black or white 16 to 23, and so on ... As a male, although verrr peaceful and now quite ancient, I allow no man to touch me without that I respond. - but if I was a woman? I would carry a revolver. That being said, you can buy and carry - quite legally - pepper spray in France and Spain. If you want to carry something like that you can buy it on the internet and have it delivered to your first arranged place of stay (with their permission) or poste restante it. [/QUOTE]
