Choosing 5 12km sections

I would like recommendations in terms of history and natural beauty so that we can choose the best sections to walk in our limited distance. They do not need to be connected and is obviously not a whole stage.

My mother turns 80 next year and the Camino is on her bucket list. She feels she can walk 12km per day for 5 days. We have chosen to do the Camino Portuguese central as it should be flatter and scenic. My husband is available to drop us off and pick us up and the beginning and end of each day if necessary. We know that this is not what doing the Camino is about but it is what she can do.

Hi, some nice sections on the Portuguese Central that spring to mind are:

Santarem
Quinta Cardiga
Vila Nova Barquina
(Golega to Vila Nova Barquina is 8.7kms and flat)
Tomar
Conimbriga
(Rabacal to Conimbriga is 10.7kms and fairly flat)
Coimbra
Porto (of course!)
Ponte de Lima
Valenca
Tui
Pontevedra
