Just a heads up everyone, especially for female pilgrims:
If you are planning to visit Eunate in the next few days, be alert on the road that descends from Muruzábal to Eunate. An American woman who had made the detour this morning reported the presence of a flasher on the road.
I have reported the incident and given a description of the individual to the Guardia Civil.
According to the woman, he was on the gravel road through the farm fields that leads down to Eunate, about 120 meters or so before you reach the point where the road crosses the tarmacked highway as you are walking toward the entrance to Eunate. The individual in question has long, black hair (with some grey on the the top of his head), parted in the middle and pulled back in a ponytail. She did not mention a beard or glasses. Today he was wearing red shorts and a blue shirt.
This is the first report we have of something like this in the area. Obviously, those who choose not make the detour to Eunate should likewise remain alert on the path between Muruzábal and Obanos, particularly at the point where the path passes through the tunnel under the highway, as this fellow could easily change locations.
If you see anyone behaving suspiciously, or if you are flashed, do not confront the individual, but make a note of his clothes and physical characteristics, and stop at the next bar, albergue or shop to report it, whether or not you are planning to continue walking to the next town. This goes for the entire route, not just for the area around Muruzábal/Eunate/Obanos.
God bless and stay sharp.
