Looking to get a flavour of the Camino for my dad and sister

Time of past OR future Camino
Wish to walk part of Camino with my dad and sister.
Hi folks looking some advice ...my sister and myself have decided to take our 70 year old father to sample a stage of the Camino in September this year . My dad is not really good walking great distances so my sister suggested hiring a electric bicycle to help him but he could pbky only do a few hours a day . Can you suggest any easier routes for us even just a few days ? We will pbky all be on bikes but although I can walk my sister wants us to stay together , I had been thinking we could do the last 100 miles but sister says it’s way too much . Can you suggest anything which gives my dad an idea of what it’s actually like ? Plus I worried if he stops say after three hours on the bike are there places to stay ?

Thanks Declan
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
