Hi! I also have an IPhone 14 and I’m from Canada where international plans are expensive.
Data plans in Europe are so much cheaper.
You could walk into any Vodophone (most of Europe?) or orange store (Spain) and ask them to add a local data plan to your phone. You can get 30Gigs for 30€ ish...
I brought two of these on my last camino.

Any of the Fanny packs out there. Wear the pouch in front, keep in on you at all times, stuff it into your sleep sack at night. I can’t imagine anything more is necessary on the camino.
Pick one that you like the way it opens when you are wearing it.
I shipped a box of clothing (not quite banker box but definitely bigger than a shoe box) from Spain back to Vancouver and it was €28 and totally worth it to have the right clothes for my work trip portion of a Europe stay.
That’s said, I’m sure you can find amazing things in the charity shop...
Was it cold and raining? cold being maybe less than 17 degrees? I plan to bring layers that include a fleece, a waterproof jacket and a rain cover for the pack but I would personally, only wear rain pants if it was also going to be cold - otherwise I overheat.
