ALSO HOW EASY IS IT TO BUY FOOD FOR EACH DAY WHILST YOU ARE WALKING?

MANY THANKS

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I saw many places that would be suitable for quiet, careful camping along the Aragones.

However, the alburgues are lovely and very inexpensive.
Is there a reason you want to camp?
 
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.
Hey, be careful about camping. "Wild" camping, ie. not on campsites is not permitted in Spain, especially if you're in the Parques Naturales, then it is ILLEGAL. Just be careful. But if you have the pilgrims passport, then stay in the albergues, it's much nicer and you get more up-to-date info about route and any changes and places to eat and what to see, etc.
We found it easy to buy food on the way but there were a few places where extra provisions are necessary, especially water. But if you are carrying camping/sleeping equipment, then you will be carrying a lot more weight.

Around Arres, Martes and Artieda, and for Ruesta, and then for Lerda.

If you can go via Sanguesa and the Foz de Lumbier which is marked as an alternative route, do it because it is BEAUTIFUL! And if you can stop in Izco and Tiebas, in the albergues, you should be in for a great welcome and very nice facilities. In Tiebas, the pilgrims' menu in the bar after the church was a feast, and we had daim/stag stew, and the owner offered us an apertif - wonderful hospitality!

And check out the following site if you haven't already, it's very helpful.

Although not everything has been translated, if you go into the "perfil" link on the left of the page, you have maps of the profile of the route and the towns and albergues on the route. Even in Spanish, it's a doddle to understand.

Hope you read this and that it's helpful. We really enjoyed the Camino Aragones from Somport to Obanos and then heading to Pamplona instead of Puenta la Reina. Beautiful camino and fun. Loads to see and learn, especially from the locals. And I spoke Italian most of the time with the locals as I don't speak Spanish!! A great time.
