Are the hostels on the Camino de Santiago safe? Are there lockers? Can I be robbed?

Although lockers are becoming more and more common in hostels, some hostels do not have this service and you will have to take extreme precautions.

 

Generally, crime along the Camino de Santiago is very low, and all pilgrims share the values of solidarity and respect for others. However, since there are always a few bad apples, it’s important to use logic and common sense while traveling.

 

If you want to avoid unpleasantness experiences, try not to leave money or valuables in sight. We suggest using a fanny pack or a small backpack to keep your belongings with you at all times. It’s also a good idea to put a small padlock on your luggage for added security.
