June 25, 2025.- Castile and Leon

The government delegation in Castilla y León has launched, once again, the campaign “No caminas sola: CAMINO DE SANTIAGO FREE OF MALE VIOLENCE”, which is designed by the coordination units against violence against women of the Government Delegations along the Camino de Santiago Frances and part of the Silver Route. These communities are La Rioja, Navarra, Aragón, Castilla y León and Galicia, as well as Extremadura where part of the Vía de la Plata runs.

This campaign is aimed at pilgrims to make them aware of the resources at their disposal and that they can use in the event that they suffer any type of violence. To this initiative are added the specific devices of the Civil Guard and the National Police for the protection of all people who transit the Camino de Santiago.

‘No caminas sola’ materializes in the dissemination in different locations of the Camino de Santiago of diptychs and bilingual informative posters that include a QR that links to the phones of attention (the specific one for male violence, 016, and generals 062 and 091) and to the nearest resources where they will be served.

These informative elements will be distributed in our Autonomous Community in the provinces of Burgos, León, Palencia, Zamora and Salamanca in: Hostels and Associations of the Camino de Santiago, Town Councils, Commandos and Posts of Civil Guard, National Police Stations, Local Police Units and pharmaceutical establishments.

Agents of the State Security Forces and Bodies distribute this material through hostels and other accommodation located along the Camino de Santiago. In addition, the Colleges of Pharmacists throughout Spain collaborate in their distribution and dissemination in the pharmacies of municipalities through which the different Jacobean routes run. The material is published in Spanish and English.

Alertcops, “Guardian of the Camino de Santiago”

The pilgrims also have the mobile application AlertCops, joint for Civil Guard and National Police. Among the functions of this tool is “Guardian of the Camino de Santiago”, which allows to share the position with the State Security Forces and Bodies so that in case of emergency or risk the police posts can attend to the user more effectively.
