If you did Roncesvalles to Pamplona you could leave your extra clothing, etc. at a hotel or left luggage place in Pamplona, take a bus or taxi to Roncesvalles, walk for three days with only the things that you need for the Camino, then pick up...
I would re-examine your urban schedule; do your 4-5 days in either Barcelona or Madrid, but not both. To do both will eat up 1-2 travelling days on a tight schedule, and will introduce a possibly unnecessary frazzle element to your trip...
From Madrid to A Coruña is only an hour longer by plane or two hours longer by train than to Logroño. They may not worry about finishing, but given a choice, may prefer to walk a complete Camino.
David, I actually wrote exactly the same thing hours back but then deleted it, because @Unweekends is going to be in Madrid and want’s to minimise travel time, and isn’t worried about finishing or getting a Compostela.

Hi @Unweekends For what it's worth - I think both suggestions from @J Willhaus and @jungleboy are excellent for the reasons they mention.
If you are concerned about distances being more than the 16-20 kms you mention, Logrono to St Domingo is...
@Unweekends have you decided to disregard the helpful comments in your previous thread? https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/7-day-camino-sarria-to-santiago-110km.85948/
I urge you to consider that if you do want to spend time in...
You are wise to be taking into account transport time/days. Like J Wilhaus, I would suggest a stretch where the start and end points are easy to travel to/from, and the Francés in general is always a good first-time route recommendation. I was...
