Alrighty, if you want to learn Spanish, this is the method that I have been using so far... First off, I have to plug this book:
Fluent Forever by Grabiel Wyner - Amazon.com
I have read and tried a lot of different books on learning languages before I finally found this one, which I consider to be the holy grail. Nothing else has stuck before I read this book. The method is basically this:
I suggest focusing on Linguasorb.com - Top 100 Spanish Verbs to start with conjugations that will be most commonly used.

This is all I can write for the moment, I am by no means fluent in Spanish but I am working on it. I have done a TON of research and this is some of the best stuff I have found, but my bookmarks folder is completely full of other resources if there is something in particular you are looking for.
The keyword you'll want to use is "reader" instead of "book". Also a lot of beginner texts are in short story format, so that is also a good keyword. Here is one result I found by searching "spanish a1 reader". Also you can look on audible as there are Spanish audio books that come with downloadable text. The formatting on those tend to be garbage, but it can be helpful to read and listen, or to alternate. Here is one that came up when I searched "beginner spanish short stories".
Adding to what's been said,
5 days, starting in Ferrol, is doable if you’re in decent shape. My wife, 2yo, and I did it at the end of May 2018. It was about 123km total. We used The Camino Ingles: 6 days to Santiago to help plan our time. There were a few inclines that were challenging while carrying a ~25lbs toddler in a backpack, but over all I didn’t feel the route to be too difficult. It’s probably a easy-medium difficulty w/o the kid. We didn’t stay at any albergues, since we had our son with us. We only encountered a handful of pilgrims each day. It wasn’t very “scenic”, but sometimes we would stop to enjoy wonderful views. I’d still recommend it because it was challenging and a great experience.
Buen Camino! 👣
The Lonely Planet Spanish Phrasebook & Dictionary is what you're looking for. I have the Latin American Spanish version of this book.
It's good to keep your phone out of sight in some places..
Quite informed. I'm a Catalan :-)
Suggestions:
I was 20. As far as expense goes, that is hugely variable depending on where you are going & It's just like writing a monthly household budget. You just get a piece of paper, write down the best estimations you can for your major known expenses:
You can get a Let's Go or a lonely planet to help you figure out what those expenses might be. In europe Youth Hostels will be much cheaper than hotels In Asia or South America guesthouses are the norm.
Get a good tough internal frame backpack that can last you 20 years and a pacsafe for security
If you have never been out of the country before, you might want to stick to a European country, though dollars won't go nearly as far as they will off the beaten path. I have stumbled across guest houses in small towns in Asia where I was able to rent room with a veranda over looking a market plaza for $3.00 a day with a meal included. You wont find things like that in heavily touristed areas...but I wouldn't suggest something like that for a first major trip. The developing world requires a certain amount of resiliency. The dollar doesn't trade favorably with The pound or the Euro so that becomes more expensive, but again if you have never been out of the country I would try some place like France or Italy. Consider choosing non-peak seasons as well. Venice is like Disney Land in the summer, but is a magical place @ Christmas.
Just do research, research, research and trust your judgement.

Again, I never said it's easy, but Im emphatically saying it's worthwhile.
And another thing - don't bring a guide book. Download the kindle app on your phone, and bam you are off to the races. I'm all about the weight saving...
Here is the book I've used both times. There is a more popular book that ~75% of Americans use but that one will ultimately just keep you on the exact same schedule as 90% of pilgrims. The problem with that is that you'll have difficult days getting a bed since you're competing with everyone. Hitting some of the smaller towns means less competition.
And know that when your signal drops out on your phone, the GPS will still work. So if you download the offline map of route ahead (say night before or that morning), you can easily see where you are when you get a bit turned around.

By some. Douglas Robinson makes a pretty compelling case against this.
Even if the paint had caught fire, it likely wouldn't have caused the massive inferno without the hydrogen as fuel. It is a hypothesis, among several.
