data provided by the Pilgrim\u2019s Reception Office in Santiago de Compostela every year, the\u00a0<strong>Camino de Santiago<\/strong>\u00a0became one attractive destination at the same level for women and men. Consequently, 2018 was the first occasion when the official routes got more female presence than masculine, fact that happened again in 2019. The feminist movement that year after year gets more strength seems to be also a good company for women during their pilgrimage.\n\nIn 2004, the first year with official data about the Camino de Santiago displayed at the webpage of the Pilgrim\u2019s Office, 79,513 women (the 44.2% of all the pilgrims) decided to walk the Way, while there were 100,431 men. \u00a0During the next years, the difference between both was even bigger until 2010. From this Jubilee Year, and taking away some exceptions, the distance between the number of women and men that decided to walk to Santiago was decreasing until 2018. Certainly, this was the first time that more women (164,836, the 50.35% of the total) than men (162,542) decided to live the experience of the Camino de Santiago.\n\nThe number of pilgrims that arrive in\u00a0<strong>Santiago de Compostela<\/strong>\u00a0experiment a gradual increase year by year. During the Jubilee Years, there is usually a big raise. In 2019, for example, 347,578 people arrived in Santiago. From all of them, 177,801 (51,15%) were women. This happens because the Camino de Santiago is believed to be a safe and relaxing activity, suitable for all ages and without gender discrimination. The rhythms depend on each person and it represents a unique opportunity to get to know oneself.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5db84e5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5db84e5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b574d5a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b574d5a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why-Walk-the-Camino-de-Santiago-Alone-as-a-Woman\"><\/span>Why Walk the Camino de Santiago Alone as a Woman?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>Walking the Camino de Santiago alone as a woman may seem intimidating at first, but the advantages far outweigh the initial fears. <strong>Many female pilgrims highlight the freedom and autonomy that this journey offers. <\/strong><\/p><p>Below, we explore <strong>the most significant reasons<\/strong> to embark on this adventure:<\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Walk-the-Camino-de-Santiago-at-Your-Own-Pace\"><\/span>Walk the Camino de Santiago at Your Own Pace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>One of the greatest advantages of traveling alone is the possibility of walking the Camino completely at your own pace.
