You should be fine, but it can't hurt to try to walk with other people. The road is well traveled and holdups are extremely rare. There was a problem earlier last year, but the culprits were caught. Personally, I walk fast and always wear a big knife on my belt, and it's kept me out of trouble most of my life.</p>

Would the recommendations differ between walking along the La Ropa road after dark, versus walking along the beach after dark?</p>
</blockquote><p>Depends on how vulnerable you feel. Personally, I never feel vulnerable unless I'm staggering drunk. Though it's been decades since I used to make that walk every day, often multiple times a day, I still wouldn't hesitate to walk to and from La Ropa at any time of day. But like I said earlier, I'm always armed with at least a knife if not also my short machete that I carry in my beach bag, partly to discourage stupid people who are too lazy to work for a living.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The only possible  trouble that  has  come creeping  my way over the years is  past the  pier  on De la Noria. A guy in a dark hoodie who  looked like he  was  heading my way around sundown as I headed back to my hotel with no one around.  Was  looking forward to pushing him down that steep slope at the edge of the road if he  made a clear move toward me. Or running like hell. Or a little of both.</p>

</blockquote><p>Done it many times. Never had any problems. Of course, one can always be in the wrong place at the wrong time.</p>
