We plan to start in Pamplona and walk for three weeks needing to finish in Santiago … any suggestions (not fast enough to walk the whole distance that time

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
You didn't indicate whether obtaining a Compostela is your reason for "needing to finish in Santiago." If it is not, then your three week time frame would allow for an unhurried walk from Pamplona to Leon, with either some shorter stages of full-day rest days thrown in. From Leon you could get the bus or the train into Santiago. And should you return to the Camino at a later date, make Leon your starting point then.

If you are used to carving off long daily distances, Ponferrada might be doable. (It would be too much for me to take on.) There are good transport options from there too into Santiago.

Hi there,
I take groups each year for about 3 weeks. My groups are full this year, but I'm happy to help you plan your own trip if you need help.
Take a look at my schedule/itinerary on my webpage at Anniewalkers.com
Basically we walk from SJPP (You can certainly start in Pamplona and that would give you an extra couple of rest days in cities.
We walk to Logroño.
We then taxi (you could bus/train) to Burgos.
We then taxi to Leon (bus/train)
We then taxi to Astorga (bus/train)
From Astorga we walk to Santiago.

This means you walk the last 100k required for the Compostela, plus you see all 4 wonderful cities of Pamplona, Burgos, Leon, and Astorga.

Feel free to PM me if you need info or help.
 
I would definitely start closer to Santiago so that I could make it a continuous walk.

If you are in good shape and used to walking long distances you could start in Burgos. But if you want to give yourselves some "flex" days, you could start somewhere like Sahagún or Carrión de los Condes, or even León. If you arrive in Santiago with extra time you can walk on to Finisterre and/or Muxía.

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
I agree with Trecile. Enjoy the camaraderie of likely forming a loose "Camino Family" in one long continuous walk. You meet someone or several people at a communal dinner, two days later you share a coffee down the path, then maybe stay at the same albergue by coincidence. No loyalty required, but the sharing of the way adds much to your pilgrimage, especially when you recognize each other in Santiago. Buen Camino
