So there always turns out to be a camino I did not now about: the Via Kunig, which goes from Herrerias de Valcarve (just before O Cebreiro) to Lugo (where it connects with the Primitivo). It is another option for those wanting to avoid the Frances crowds.
The route is based on the pilgrimage of Hermann Kunig, a German monk who walked from Vacha (Germany) to Santiago in 1495 and wrote a guide book about his experiences. His guide (written in rhyming verse apparently) was widely used by German pilgrims in the middle ages.
I do not know how established this route is at the moment (in terms of waymarkers etc.), it seems it is very much in the research stage, but definitely something to look out for and / or be involved in.
