    Alertcops has a recent update

    Thanks. To my great pleasure, I was able to activate the app, which is a first!

    No success receiving the code in the US or Spain. Other international texts are working fine.

    The group of albergues thieves has been arrested by the Guardia Civil.

    Several people I was with were pickpocketed in Pamplona. Probably the usual tourist-in-city issue if putting phones and wallets in unsecured pockets.

    Is it safe for a woman walking alone?

    I walked the CF at 56 with no problem. If you're entering an area that makes you feel hesitant, just wait for more people to show up and ask if you can join them (through town, the woods, dawn, etc.).

    Very good news.

    Warning to all pilgrims (& all others): A heat wave is coming!

    I'm in a Leon hotel with air conditioning. I notice that I've acclimated to the heat so much that I'm uncomfortable below 23°!

    New thievery model on the Camino....be aware!

    Many of the albergues on the CF have warnings posted, yet I've seen plenty of phones and cameras sitting unattended on beds. Albergue Maribel Roncal in Cizur Menor has small phone charging lockers for a refunded euro.

    New thievery model on the Camino....be aware!

    I'm a fan of Pacsafe products, other than their weight.

    AlertCops App for Emergencies

    Does the phone's cellular service need to be on?

    New thievery model on the Camino....be aware!

    I normally use a Pacsafe exomesh bag when I travel. It's been great when I've needed to carry a backpack on crowded subways (like DF in Mexico or Shanghai), for locking up my valuables in dubious hotel rooms, or to secure my possessions while sleeping in a train station or airport. I'll have it...

    Warning! Alert to women doing the Camino alone near Logroño - Please share

    This seemed hopeful.... http://www.radiocaminodesantiago.com/detenido-por-abordar-a-las-peregrinas-mientras-se-masturbaba/?fbclid=IwAR3wdAshP6kD84DWe112Y57H4J_88ExIH5kTEpuwSPMH6t6tZUJ2vT_NT_Y

    Warning! Alert to women doing the Camino alone near Logroño - Please share

    The fantasy of hurting a flasher is understandable, but I'm pretty sure assaulting them, spraying them, or initiating contact with them, will be considered an assault, not self-defense. Leaving the area, yelling, blowing a whistle, and calling the police are actions to try first.

    Warning! Alert to women doing the Camino alone near Logroño - Please share

    It is disgusting and I feel for your daughter. It is not new, on the Camino or in the world. I was assaulted twice in Jerusalem in 1985. I hope your daughter made a police report and continues her Camino.
