Is it safe for women to pilgrimage alone?

Yes. The Portuguese Camino is considered safe and women currently represent a majority percentage of pilgrims (about 60%). There is no relevant history of serious incidents on the Portuguese routes. Additionally, the Porto Pilgrim Office has implemented structured security measures: • Voluntary pilgrim registration system • Digital platform with emergency button with direct connection to 112 • Active cooperation with Portuguese police forces • Safety awareness and training actions Pilgrim safety is an institutional priority of My Way.
