Hi, I've enjoyed El Norte route for 10 days, and the coast, but it's just too lonely. I have five to seven days available and I thought of just taking a bus down to Leon or elsewhere on Francie route. Any suggestions of a good five or seven day walk on Camino Frances? Right now I'm in ribadesella/llenas area, the coast.

I'm familiar with the cold, experienced Backpacker. As long as there are hostels hotels or open on frances, I'm fine with cold. I know Leon gets down to 25° I saw. Cheers

If you're lonely and looking for company I would suggest Leon as you mention or even Atsorga or Ponferrada to go and start walking from, the closer you are to Santiago the more Pilgrims you are going to see.

Just a suggestion…LEON is on the Camino Frances and located in Spain. LYON is located in eastern France!

Burgos to Leon, no question.
