Best Route, starting point for a 2 week hike?

[DougF]

We have a group of 4 couples who would like to hike the camino for 2 weeks in the July, 2016. All experienced hikers, we're trying to mix fun, scenery, and still get a pilgrimage experience. Several in the group are wondering if we can accomplish that in 2 weeks. If we can, which route to take? Where should we start if we want to end up in Santiago?

The Camino Frances from Leon to Santiago!

I would recommend walking the Camino Ingles from Ferrol, or even Covas, and extend that to Muxia and Finisterre before returning for a day or so to Santiago.

Starting the Camino Ingles from the albergue at Covas and walking around the headland is a wonderful way to start that camino. It has a a mix of natural coastal scenery at the start and later it follows the shores of the mouth of the Rio Ferrol, with the occasional historic fort.
