As additional comfort for solo walkers and women, I've read that Spain has
strict laws that protect pilgrims from harm.  There are supposedly very
severe penalties imposed against criminals who are found guilty of crimes
committed against pilgrims.  I do not know the exact nature of these laws or
when they have originated, but I'm sure that most potential wrongdoers are
aware of these laws.  Howard Mendes, NYC
