Last night, june 5, we were staying at the albergue ¨En El Camino¨ in Boadilla del Camino. The entire room I was sleeping in was woken to someone standing outside the window saying over and over ¨Abre la ventana.¨ A lady was sleeping right beside this window and when she clearly saw someone looking back at her. He woke the whole room up and when the lights came on he disappeared. We notified the hospitalero but he did not seem to care; he said it was only a chinese man who had been locked out, but that did not sit well with me because if it was someone who was locked out then why did he disappear when the lights went on? We should have also called the police, but for some reason nobody thought to do this, maybe because it woke everyone up and we were not thinking clearly due to sleep.
The next night in Carrion de los Condes i heard of a pilgrim woman who while walking out of Boadilla by herself the next morning was asked by a man if she wanted a ride. She declined wisely, but he came back in his car and asked her again. Again she declined, but he came back a third time telling her she was going to ride with him. Thankfully she got away.
With both these incidents happening in the same evening / next morning i wanted to warn any women pilgrams to take care around Boadilla del Camino. It was scary enough to see this in person and be in the room where the man was telling the lady to open the window, i do not want to see anything happen to an unsuspecting pilgrim.
