Today he said "What about the Portugues?" Obviously we'd need to start in Porto. Advantage would be that we would make it to Santiago. Another is that it would be different to Spain
If you start in Porto, roughly half of the route would be in Spain...
On the Camino de Madrid, you have meseta and a mountain range to cross. No mountains on the Camino Portugués although it doesn't mean is all flat...
Maybe the time of the year might influence you? What time are you thinking of?
Now there's a reason to do this route - we would expect to be arriving in Oporto on the 8th so just might catch you up! Would be lovely to meet you two.Montserrat to Puente de la Reina, via S. Juan de la Peña, was on my priority list, but somehow we are going to walk instead from Oporto, starting 8 th June, most probably on the Coastal Route.
Hey.... That would be fantastic! Please doooooo consider this!Now there's a reason to do this route - we would expect to be arriving in Oporto on the 8th so just might catch you up! Would be lovely to meet you two.
Actually and roughly it's Guadarrama range first and then the Tierra de Campos
I think you've already found the reason you where looking for to choose between the caminos you quoted so all what I say to you is: Enjoy your route!
Don't mix Tierra de Campos with the meseta. Tierra de Campos is just a small area of the meseta and most of the meseta you cross on the Camino de Madrid isn't located in Tierra de Campos.

P.S.: The Central System (the Guadarrama range is one of its parts) divides the Meseta Central in two parts: the submeseta norte (all the meseta located at the North of the Central System) and the submeseta sur (all the meseta located at the South of the Central System). Being Madrid located on the submeseta sur and Sahagún on the submeseta norte, you start and end the Camino de Madrid in the meseta (or in a meseta if you consider the submesetas mesetas on their own).
But still there's not much of the Meseta from Madrid to Guadarrama
