I have about 10 days to complete a walk (to Santiago) this year and I am wondering where is the best place to start. Last year I walked from Sarria to Santiago which I really enjoyed but I would like a different route this year. I appreciate there is lots of info on the forum but if you could just point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Consider either the Caminho Portuguese...10 days may be tough depending on weather. Or the Camino Ingles...well within the 10 Day window, with time to spare in Santiago.
Buen Camino,
Arn

I was in a similar position last year. I chose to walk the Camino Ingles then walk to Finisterre via Muxia. I had 14 days, and took six days on the CI, then five days to get to Finisterre before spending a couple of days in Santiago. It would not be difficult to do both in 10 days.

Thanks everyone for your help. Unfortunately my free time has been reduced to a week. I think I will walk the camino Ingles. I hope its not too hilly as my knees are crocked! Is it true the the CI is very quiet and you might not meet any other people? Too busy is one thing but too quiet...I'm not sure?

True, it is very quiet! And beware there are some pretty hilly etapas...Don't overstretch it.
