Have one week in March/April - what would you do?

Camino Frances (2017)
Several years ago my oldest son and I cycled from Burgos to Santiago during his Spring Break from high school in April. We loved it.

I have a couple more high school kids now and want to walk part of the trail with them for Spring Break. We'd have a full 7 days of walking. What would you suggest for the best segment of the Camino (for scenery, culture, and weather) that time of year?

And we don't have to end in Santiago (though that would be nice) - on bike we blasted through so fast, I'd like to slow it down and enjoy the experience, even with our limited time schedule.

Thanks in advance!

2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
I would go South, Málaga - Córdoba in mozarabe, or Sevilla-Mérida in la plata
 
Have you considered the Camino Inglés? It can be done in less than 7 days of walking. I walked it with my 10 & 12 year olds last year.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Camino Magic, Santiago to Finisterre in three days, 1 day to Muxia and 3 days return to Santiago and receive two Compestelas for the price of one
 
Sarria to Santiago is a classic. Plenty of infrastructure for the kids, and can be done in 7 days.
 
Camino Ingles or Santiago > Muxia/Finisterre > Santiago ;-)
