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.
