One thing the woman said to us was to just forget the incident and walk on the next day. She said, you are foreign and peregrinas, he is a native and lives here, so nothing will be done if you report him. I wonder if he has done this before, and this was her advice to other peregrinas, who decided to walk on.
@whariwharangi. The original post on this dates from July 2013 and the OP has not returned to the forum since November of that year. I guess we will never know what the outcome of any Police action was. A search hasn't found any further adverse comment about this hotel.
Actually, the attack was at the hostal which is some distance from the albergue operated by the same people. A new albergue was built by the junta in 2014 for overflow, but it does not have hot water, and the key is kept by the other albergue.that nothing more has been reported on that albergue
Although I appreciate the intent and advice to take appropriate precautions, I don't accept that I need to conduct my life and all my excursions with a companion! There are many situations that are too risky for my comfort, but the Camino is not one of them. That is a happy fact of life for me. I walk the camino with the same precautions as I walk my local parks.I do worry about women walking it alone. Best to do it in a pairs... It's really not fair, but a sad fact of life.
As safe as the caminos are, in general, I do worry about women walking it alone. Best to do it in a pairs, and I realize this is a shame, since walking the camino alone (at least part of the time) is, for me, so necessary for my soul. It's really not fair, but a sad fact of life.
Same as always, everywhere!Still, please be careful.
A link to this page surfaced in on one of the Facebook Camino groups today, and it felt acceptable to state that my experience at the two properties owned by this family as a solo female walker, sleeper and diner was satisfactory and turned out to be safe. While cautioning all walkers (male and female) to watch out for their safety, fear mongering is not helpful.The OP posted in July 2013... I see no point in revisiting this topic unless there is fresh first hand news.
