This scenario will not happen, for a number of reasons too long to enumerate. @Aurigny's post is spot on although it probably crosses already the dreaded "no politics" forum rule. But frankly, dear moderators, how else can one explain the actual situation? It must be necessary to describe legal/political realities - which is not the same as expressing and discussing political opinions.As you know, the EU is currently thinking about requiring visas for US citizens to enter Europe.
What do you think might happen in the following scenario
...in a gulag type prison.
Let's say you enter to Spain under the current 90 days/ no visa dispensation and start walking the Camino.
And then, while you are out there, new rules come into effect, and Americans must then have visas.
Mark you are ready for a career in generating Fake New.Wow....that would be a frightening what if scenario. The perfect storm so to speak, of a peregrino nightmare.
I think there's a very good chance if that happened one would find themselves arrested and sentenced to hard labor in a gulag type prison.

Now, now, don't frighten people! According to something I think I have read somewhere and choose to believe, you will either have to pay a 480 EUR visa fee in 5 EUR notes at the nearest police station - pay attention, it may mean that you have to walk back to a previous village or town - or, failing to do so, your Hoka One shoes, Osprey backpack and REI functional clothes will be confiscated until your departure from Santiago and you will be given a hair shirt/cilice and a small leather satchel instead (you can chose between Vuitton, Gucci and Mandarina Duck models).Outside of Seville they are now building a huge Peregrino gulag.
Indeed. While we commenters are indulging ourselves in all this silliness, though, I should say to the OP that his or her question is a perfectly reasonable one to ask. Those of us who are Europeans will be aware that this is a non-story; others, simply going by the media reports, have every justification for feeling concerned about it.
The bottom line, OP: as others have said, enjoy your pilgrimage and don't give this a second thought.
Many thanks to God, Jesus and St. James I was not alone. I would never have been able to understand what these gun toting guys were asking or why. Today we stayed off the Camino and did our walk in the local fieldsHow many tickets? One, or like five or six for the entire menagerie?
Was Paddy with you? If so, I sense an indignant column to be forthcoming...
Oh, to have been a fly on the proverbial wall...
I pity the GC...
