More accommodation than you'll ever need.
Personally, one of the things that draws me to the Camino is serendipity - the idea that you never know where or when you'll end up at the end of a day. I have never booked in advance in any of my five Caminos (2015-2019). Of course, things might have changed post-pandemic.- stinmd

Would it be worth it to photograph the whole Camino Frances
I would say, don't bother...unless you are doing it as a personal record of your trip. Much of the scenery along the Camino is pretty much the same and, quite frankly, rather monotonous. Besides, Google has already done it...- stinmd

Here's a trick: Follow the direction that the local is pointing at. After a while, repeat with another local, and so on. Just remember to begin your question with "Dónde está ... por favor?" and never forget to say "Gracias" at the end.- stinmd

In my experience, speaking a few words in Spanish is not as challenging as comprehending what comes back at you ;-)- stinmd

Primitivo vs Frances?
I agree. A few years ago I hopscotched over several Caminos using Spain's very efficient - and cheap - train/bus network. Even though I didn't finish at SdC, I found the experience highly rewarding.- stinmd
