Hello everyone,
My name is Tiffany and I am hoping to do the Frances Route this April/May, with my 3 year old in a Chariot. I am confident of our ability to handle the walk, and I am more than happy to skip a few sections by bus if the route is too much/we are too tired/he needs a break. However, my family is quite concerned about us being so vulnerable... a woman travelling alone with a toddler. They are worried that he will kidnapped, or that we will be at risk of attack. Any suggestions as to how to ease their fears? Do you think I should be concerned about this safety aspect? I expect to be fully "on guard" in the bigger cities of Barcelona and Madrid, but how safe is the Frances Route itself? Would you be worried?
Many thanks for your thoughts,
Tiffany
