"Fuendejalón is a very safe village with low crime rates. Violent crime is virtually nonexistent. However, as with any rural area, be mindful of uneven terrain and loose stones on hiking paths. Lock your car and secure valuables when exploring. At night, streets are quiet and well-lit in the center. Petty theft is rare but always keep an eye on bags in public spaces."
