Sounds like a great plan! You’ll be plenty warmed up by the time you reach León. The San Salvador can be walked in 4-6 days (day one will determine if you can do less than five). Also, if you’re pressed for time and physically ready for it, I...
If I were you…I would try something different to begin, and see if it fits your needs for this Camino. There are so, so many to choose from that I would start somewhere new.
