I've got a similar time constraint so I chose to start in Leon - easy to get to, lots to do, and can be done in 13 stages according to Brierley.

Welacome Biraca, Leon sounds good IMO. If you want to have a very relaxed Camino then Astorga. Have a great Camino.
Buen Camino.

It depends on how many kilometres you can walk comfortably each day and if you need/want any rest days. Here some suggestions (no rest days included in the calculations and assuming that you have 12 full walking days leaving 2 days for travel to/from the Camino):

Leon ~310km = 26km/day
Astorga ~267km = 22,5km/day
Ponferrada ~200km = 16,5km/day

Buen Camino! SY

Hi Biraca ... and welcome to the forum!
The important thing is not to rush the camino: it isn't a race
And you'll probably find that - like so many of us - you catch the 'camino bug' and want to return time and time again.
So relax and enjoy. Better to walk less kms with a smile on your face, than more kms with a blister on your foot
Whatever you decide ....
Buen camino!
