Hitchhiking on the Camino?
what I find surprising .... when a pilgrim or peregrina reports an incident on this forum, the standard advice is to download the Alert Cops App for Spain and learn how to use it in case of emergencies. I second this advice. I would give it to any solo woman who considers to go hitchhiking...- MinaKamina

Hitchhiking on the Camino?
if you are on your own, be wise and get a taxi. there also have been incidents where getting into the car of an unknown person did (almost) not end well. you will meet a lot of helpful people but this does not mean that everyone on the Camino has good intentions.- MinaKamina

How to address an Advancing Dog ..in Español please!!
Goodness gracious.... how did you manage to take a picture of that feral creature with bewildered red eyes?? Just as well this dog is wearing a collar and looks well fed and well groomed. Perhaps a local charity or family takes it in on a regular basis for a ration of cuddles and cookies...- MinaKamina

How to address an Advancing Dog ..in Español please!!
Excellent advice. Indeed a lot depends on who you are and how high you are on the passive aggresive scale (or a scale by any name.) There are people who can stare a dog away, and there are others who better curl up and wait for the storm to pass. My darling malinois shepherd, long departed...- MinaKamina

Man arrested for sexual assault on a peregrina in Nájera
Perhaps reading the publication will help part of this discussion. The German peregrina was lost and asked directions from a passer-by. He accompanied her for a short while and offered her a stay in his home. Classic grooming IMO. Never underestimate that people outside the Camino bubble may...- MinaKamina

Dog from Hell ?
Spain is officially rabies free and has been so for years. Make sure you are vaccinated against Tetanus to prevent infection of any wound that bleeds. I see that you are preparing for Hell in Spain. By all means continue to do so if this makes you happy. Most people take a broader view of...- MinaKamina

Young woman (not a pilgrim) missing near Grado (Primitivo)
There is a square with a park with trees and a meadow in front of the albergue. Don't know if the backpack was found there, but as long as those who found it remember the location, the Guardia Civíl will have some solid data to work on.- MinaKamina

Help Needed - Hospitalized in Santiago
A first name would be nice, an indication of his age, and a description. The family will be busy as it is. Distance, Language problems. Plus there is a slight time zone, it is 2 hours later in Mauritius than in Spain. Hopefully, the family will have more news soon.- MinaKamina

Two pilgrims attacked near Castilblanco de los Arroyos (Via de la Plata)
There were two attackers, not the one beggar that allegedly was at the albergue. And it was pitch dark, there were also other pilgrims on their way. Refusing to give money to a mendigo is not unheard of, and the beggar would be used to it. So why would he have remained angry all night and even...- MinaKamina

Hello Sina, it isn't all about feeling, also about being prepared and hoping you'll never need it. What is your safety plan? Do you know how to contact the emergency services when you need them?

Alert Sexual Harassment May 13th (2023)
So sorry this happened to you and well done for reporting it. IMO the attitudes in Spain towards sexual harassment are changing. Last year the so-called solo sí es si law [ only yes means yes law] came into effect. Harassment with sexual connotations is considered sexual violence. Since you...- MinaKamina
