Greetings, I walked from Roncevalles to Santiago a few years ago. I'm interested in walking a 5 days to a week of any section of the camino in Spain that is well sign posted, easy to get to and leave by public transport ( I speak spanish so can negotiate my way ok) with the possibility of luggage pick up each day & hotels (not dorms) to stay in. Any thoughts most welcome. Thanks

Frances x 2 , Norte x 2 , Le Puy x 3 , Portuguese x 2,
Mont St Michel , Primitivo .
When;
1/
Why not S.D.C to Muxia .......4 days , stay in Parador .....then a day to Finisterre or Muxia [100km]
2/
Logrono to Belorado ............... [100km]
3/
Estella to Santo Domingo ...... [102km]

There are sections from Oviedo [ Primitivo] where you are in the clouds.

If we lived nearby would do this 4 times a year.
The French on the GR65 did this all the time .
Drive to a train station .......walk the week and return back by train .

We wish you well.

Timing aside, the Inglès is very well marked, has good infrastructure, ( hotels) and most walk it in 5 days. It's extremely easy to get to - direct bus from Santiago or you can fly into A Corona and then bus over from there.
As @trecile mentioned on another thread yesterday:
You can use Correos to transfer your luggage. On their site when you choose a town there will be a drop down menu of the places that they pick up from and deliver to.

@mette, while it's great that you enjoyed your Camino, I think what @Thornley is really asking is why you replied to a question about a one-week Camino with your comment about a 30 plus day one.
I have to say I, too, do not understand the relevance..... ?

I don't think it takes 30+ days for most people to get from Burgos to Leon. The request was for any section that is easy to get to and well-signposted, with private rooms and luggage transport. A section of the Frances meets that, and Burgos and Leon are easy to get to by public transport. Now, admittedly, it took me 8 days to cover that stretch last time I walked it, but I'm sure some could do it in a week. Taking over a month would be much slower than most.

I admit, my first thought was complete Caminos like the Ingles or San Salvador, but that limitation wasn't in the request.
