A WARNING FOR WOMEN!
At 1.20 am on Sunday 5th November an attack took place on Real de Guadeloupe, one block from the pedestrian walkway in the direction of the Guadeloupe church. A man in a low, lime green sports-type car attacked a British woman, trying to drag her into his car. Luckily, she escaped, but beware of this man if you see him. He is approximately 1.70m tall, well-built -chubby, short, black slightly wavy hair, a black wiry beard on his chin only, olive skin colour, a round face. Approximately 25-30 years old.

Another incident happened two days ago... an intruder entered the house of a German woman, pointing a gun at her. She was able to escape.

Both women are teachers where I work.

Thanks for the warning and just goes to show: Small towns and tourist areas are NOT safe either!!!

Both of these sound like incidents that could happen anywhere, but still a cause for concern, especially in a place like San Cristobal which has been going a long way in reestablishing itself as a safe place for tourism. You were there recently, Isla Guapa. Any comments?

Any more details, Adela? Not to discount the first incident, but the second sounds much more scary.
