Sounds good. But no taxis.... it's for another compostella . This time for her dad.
Then indeed the Portugues is more doable.
We are currently moving slowly along the CF from St Jean and will reach sdc sometime around 13th June.
My better half Pat is walking this Camino in memory of her mother and will dedicate her compostella to mum. I forget the Latin term...
She is talking about doing another short Camino once we reach sdc for her Father. (So compostela required).
I had thought of Muxia, finisterre, sdc. Pat suggested just busing back to Sarria even and doing that section
Our maximum distance each day is 20-25 Kms max. 25 kms is a challenge
We prefer private accommodation
Due to chronic foot injuries, long stretches on roads are very difficult.
.... but it seems a pity not to experience another route if we can.
I don’t recall cobbles much (if at all ?) on the last 100. Definitely early on ..I was under the impression thatt the CP involved a lot of road walking and cobbles. Not so,?

The last 100 Km of the Primativo from Lugo is a nice walk, you would be back on the frances from Melide on but the part from Lugo to Melide is quite nice. Lugo it's self as you walk into it does not seem too promising but once into the older part of town it's very picturesque with a distinguished Cathedral and a lot of street life. We stayed in an albergue on the outskirts of town named Casa Chanca, a full kilometer from the center. As Nice as central Lugo was I was inclined to stay at the municipal which was very nicely located but once we saw Casa Chanca it was an easy call. The building with it's large garden area is located in a quiet neighborhood with a view of the roman aqueduct, the rooms were very nice with few bunks (4-6 I think) in each with a bathroom for each room and breakfast featured homemade baked goods.We are currently moving slowly along the CF from St Jean and will reach sdc sometime around 13th June.

But of course there are many other options. I'd certainly welcome some ideas.
We have a few limitations though...

We prefer private accommodation (medical reasons)

A bit limiting I realise
But any suggestions would be most appreciated. I'm happy to repeat the last bit of the CF, but it seems a pity not to experience another route if we can.
I second the Inglés, my wife has health issues and cannot do long stages so we did more or less half stages based on a blackboard I'd seen in Cafe Maragotto In Neda ( see the blog " theCaminoProvides"). The walk was pleasant if not spectacular and reasonably varied. Someone in our group was dormitory adverse and we were afraid there would be no room by the late hour we'd probably arrive in Presedo so I arranged for a taxi to pick us up there when we telephoned, Cabbed it back to Betanzos then took the same cab back to where we had left off the next morning. each ride cost 15E which was split between four of us. It worked out great.@Robo : I am a big fan of the Ingles.
Now with the rerouting one etapa to Bruma is 25k.
There is alot of new asphalt roads but if you are not opposed to taking a taxi for some parts ( seeing you already will have the Compostela ) it is very doable. The steep climb out of Pontedeume could be done in a car too if you guys think it is too hard
If you take the footbridge next to railway out of Ferrol to Neda that etapa to Pontedeume will be 23k.
Regarding private rooms : no worries there. I too stayed in them a month ago and the prices are reasonable but I would book in advance seeing albergues now seem to fill up quickly.
The part Tui to SdC from the Portugues is also nice but more crowded and lots of asphalt too. I prefer the Ingles because of the quieter atmosphere.
For now : enjoy your Camino.
