Which Camino (besides Primativo, Aragon and Frances) has less road walking?

Time of past OR future Camino
Frances, Aragones, via de la plata. looking to do either norte or portugues
I am going back to the Camino for a 2 1/2 to 3 week walk but am deciding on which one and what part of. I have already done the whole Camino Frances and received the Pilgrims Certificate so I do not need to return to Santiagio. I very much enjoyed the Route Aragones from Jaca to Puente de la Reina (my 2nd time for 1 week) and found the Via de La Plata from Zamora to be okay. I WAS going to do the Northern or Portugues Route until I read that a large portion (around 50% ) is road walking. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO AVOID. Is there a part of either of these route (for a t least 2 weeks), that would have LESS than 20% of road walking? I would do the Primativo BUT I don't know if my knees are up for so much up and down.

I have to decide asap as I still have to get a plane ticket to the start point and I leave in less than 2 weeks HELP!
Thanks in advance for your advice!

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.
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Shannon, 2.5 - 3 weeks would be easy for the whole Camino Madrid (Madrid to Sahagun). Not done it myself but its probably next on my list! it it is 321km long.

And lets face it, Madrid is really easy to get to as starting points go!

Buen Camino
