Best 10 - 14 Day Refresher Walk

[RobertS26]

I completed the Camino on November 6, 2013, and I miss it so much it hurts some times. I am thinking about returning for 10 to 14 days to get a refresher (I just not in a position to walk all 790 kilometers again). I am trying to decide where I would walk if I had only two weeks. And, as crazy as this sounds, I am thinking about Burgos to Leon. Your thoughts?

That is 178km, a nice ten day walk. Leon to Santiago fits into 14 days nicely, as would Astorga to Santiago. Buen camino.

I loved doing Astorga to Santiago as the landscape changed every day. You get a little bit of everything in a very short time, rolling hills, mountains, vineyards, forests, agricultural, urban sprawl, etc.

Try Sanabres leaving from Puebla de Sanabria for 252km. Town as a rail station and is 10 days walk to Santiago in mountains similar to Astorga-Santiago. Albergues are purpose built so nice but a bit sterile. Go to http://www.mundicamino.com/ingles/ then click on The Sanbres Way button and check out the route.
I did as tail end of Via de la Plata in fall of 2010. From Zamora to Ourense (110km to Santiago so easy Compostela!) I met maybe 4 other pilgrims.
Starting in Zamora (410km) is 15 days and stages tend to be long with not much in-between infrastructure compared to Camino Frances so isn't really appropriate unless your legs are ready to average 30+km daily. Probably lots more information in threads on VDLP.
