Time of past OR future Camino

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
 
Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
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]
4/
Oviedo to Grandas de Salime .....[105km ] ......the most beautiful , bus back to Oviedo
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.
Buen Camino

When are you planning to go? That will make a difference for luggage transfer since most of the companies don't provide this service on all routes on the off season.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
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.

 
Do you need to end in Santiago?

  1. Santiago to Fisterra then Muxia
  2. Ourense to Santiago

@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.

At the beginning of this year, I took a term off (plus 3 weeks of school holiday) with the intention of walking a number of small, connecting routes in Spain. It's very stressful living in Burma...
