I'll have a look at the Gronze Webpage, thanksHow many days will you have?
I'd say that after Puente la Reina there are hills, but of moderate difficulty. Only relatively steep section: between Belorado-Burgos (the Montes de Oca, and after Atapuerca).
The "Meseta", after Burgos, is considered flat terrain, but there is also the Alto de Mostelares, which is a serious, but not long climb.
After León, hilly country starts before Foncebadón. And the O Cebreiro climb is second only to Roncesvalles.
Galicia is always up and down, but not especially difficult.
There are height profiles in the recently revamped Gronze webpage. It is in Spanish, but graphics are easy to understand.
My kneeproblems started walking the Camino. I have been resting in Burgos hence my question re flat terrain from here Underestimated what going downhill can do to untrained muscles!!Even the meseta undulates gently as you walk in the heat on pavement or packed improved paths. Finding a good stretch depends on what you mean by "flat." Leaving Burgos is pretty flat, but you will find hills and even a climb up to a mesa (and then back down). My suggestion is to find flat places near where you live, and test the knee on them before you spend thousands on a plane ticket!
