As @jcat said, if you can add a sixth day to your Camino, the Astorga to Sarria offers a great section of The Way. You get in some good climbing along with some very special spots like Astorga, Foncebadon, Cruz de Ferro, and O Cebreiro. However... -

jcat replied to the thread Piecemeal camino question.If you had 6 days I would say Astorga, because I loved it there! The Gronze website shows starting in Foncebadon will get you to Sarriai in 5 stages. Astorga is easy to get to by train, and I'm sure you could bus it to Foncebadon. If you...

jcat replied to the thread Just started El Camino Vasco del Interior..Awesome! Looking forward to hearing about your journey. I walked it in December and did not see a single pilgrim, but still had a great time. Your weather looks good for this week.

Gronze has updated fairly recently to use the variant route via Olaberria rather than the valley route directly to Segura.
