Time of past OR future Camino

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
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
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.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
