Man exposing himself between Sarria and Vilei

[NBN]

While walking from Sarria to Vilei a man in his 50ies twice exposed himself. First looked like he was taking a dump next to the road, which I found strange, but ignored and walked quickly past. Then he passed me in his grey, older stationcar and drowe off. This was just outside Sarria before entering the path towards Vilei. 2 km later he sits there again with his pants down and crouching. As I make the turn he gets up flashing him self while starring at me with a goofy face. As I recognized him I felt very uncomfortable. This time I shouted at him and quickly turned around running back to Sarria while being really angry that he proved what I keep convincing myself is an irrational fear for walking alone. I ran in to workers by the railroad who called the police. They were there in 5 minutes. They took a report and drove me to a albergue. The told me to always call 112 if anything happens as they can track your location and send help.
What can I say. I want to say it’s after all harmless, but it’s just very uncomfortable and really disgusting to be dragged in to a strangers sexual perversion. So tomorrow I will walk with people in sight at least

So sorry that you had to experience this. Thank you for reporting it to the police.
Another option besides calling 112 is to use the AlertCops app.

It’s not in any way harmless, so thank you for going through the process of a formal report.

I hope you have a great Camino from here on and this rare experience is in the past.

Thanks for reporting this to the police. Yes, walk with others in sight until you feel more comfortable!
