Less Crowded Routes to Santiago after Camino San Salvador

Time of past OR future Camino
2021
I'm planning another camino for June 2023. I completed the Primitivo in 2021. This year I want to walk camino San Salvador. What would be the best route after this to get the 100k requirement to Santiago? Thinking transferring to Tui but it's a full day bus trip. I like less crowded routes.
TIA
 
The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.

Hi Bonniegrace. This past late September I walked the Salvador (spectacular and challenging). I then connected with a BlaBla car trip to meet a Forum friend for the first time in Leon (👋 to @rojasa). From Leon there is often an early bus to Vigo 6-7 am. If this early ALSA bus is not running you may take an early morning ALSA 6 am bus to Lugo arriving 9:50 and from there MONBUS 10 am to Vigo arriving 1 pm. From Vigo there are local buses to Tui.
I suggest you explore the ALSA and MONBUS sites to get updated information that frequently is unavailable until 6-8 weeks prior to travel.

Tui to Santiago is crowded compared to Salvador. I was worried there would be too many people. I found it very easy to walk alone and thoroughly enjoyed the other Peregrinos. Enjoy your pre-Camino planning and Buen Camino!

I have been incredibly inspired by so many stories of loss, pain, diagnosis, or other stories that tug at my heart strings, but one pilgrim, since lost in the threads here, was an 83 year old man...
I started my training walks last fall in preparation for the camino frances this year. This included walking in the mall in bad winter weather (ugh!). My husband was undecided about joining me...
