Hello Saïd,
You have chosen a gorgeous mini Camino IMHO.
I see that you will walk in May, do take into consideration that May contains some official holidays for the Spaniards and it might be busier than normal on the Inglés. Afterall this Camino is perfect for a Spaniard to walk in a holidayweek.
Regarding gear : do expect rain. Dress accordingly. I personally do not like a poncho but use a decent rainjacket and a quickdry trousers ( I do not bother with raintrousers either ).
Throughout the years the CI provided more types of lodgings.There are the obvious Xunta ones but also some nice private albergues.
Even Betanzos now has some more democratic places to stay.
For breakfast in Ferrol I can recommend café Lusitania , right in the city centre.
I recommend you to visit the restaurant LUSITÂNIA CAFÉ. Find more about this place with Restaurant Guru App.
Simple hostal / restaurante in Pontedeume is Bar Luis. In 2018 a single room was 15 €.Wonder how much it is now.

They have Whatsapp to communicate.
Betanzos is rather famous for their tortilla. Ask a local for the good places.
Walking out of the centre there is Churreria Amy . Recommended. Edit : search says it is closed!
I recommend you to visit the restaurant Churrería AMY. Find more about this place with Restaurant Guru App.
Betanzos is my favourite town on the CI.
Take your time to savour the sights.

Throughout the years the CI saw some changes and rerouting but for me it still a magical Camino.
And the Galicians are so friendly and helpful.
The church in Siguïero provided a Pilgrims Blessing years ago.
Friendly people in this hostal/ restaurante though also temporarily closed according to internet?
