I started my Camino in Coimbra, and on the 2nd day had an incident where a man was parked along the side of the road, along the route, just waiting for a female pilgrim to walk by.
He wanted me to masturbate him; thankfully he did not pursue or physically threaten me when I said no and walked away. When I went to the police to report the incident, they did not seem at all surprised and they conveyed that it was dangerous for women to walk solo. They were very kind and sympathetic, but their response made me understand this type of incident is becoming increasingly common.
I no longer felt comfortable walking alone until I was quite north of Porto and joined a few people I had met the night before. They told me a girl they were previously walking with had a similar incident, but the man was much more aggressive and tried to physically force her into his truck. She was rescued by a fellow male pilgrim who happened to come across her. After my experience, and learning of hers just a few days before, I would advise women NOT to walk the Camino Portuguese south of Porto solo.
