You do know that every one of the Camino villages, towns, cities, hamlets, etc. ARE connected by drivable roads?
You are not in Sahara or Gobi. You're not even on Inca Trail or AT. At very worst you are moving through some paths in the fields and...
In my experience if you have cash a taxi driver can find you anywhere. That said local bars are the best resource for taxis, possibly a bed that isn’t on Berking.con and even a drink while you’re waiting for the taxi
There are often taxi signs with phone numbers posted on the trail or in villages, so it’s a good idea to take note of these if you think you might need a cab later that day. While there won’t be a taxi rank in these villages where you can just...

The key is whether you can carry your pack day after day with a level of comfort. Of course you don’t want to be carrying stuff you really don’t need, but there’s no ‘rule’
