I believe there are few monasteries on any camino and have heard that the monastery at Oseira is less enthusiasistic about taking in pilgrims these days. I am passing there in about 10 days so will try to let you know the full story by posting something on the forum. Rachel

I've stayed at the Sobrado monastery and it wasn't a particularly great experience, but maybe things have changed. I also know that they too have a "hospedaria" side that provides accommodations for several nights for those who are interested in the kind of retreat Andy describes.
The Primitivo has the albergue in Cornellana, in what USED to be a monastery so that probably shouldn't count.
If I had 10-15 days and didn't want to walk the Frances, hands down I'd start in Oviedo and walk the "entire" Camino Primitivo. Though it's shorter than most of the caminos, you can have a very complete pilgrim experience on it. There are some fabulous albergues and it can be walked very comfortably in 14-15 days. If pressed you could compress it more, but I wouldn't want to.
