As for your questions there are some places where you camp that are relatively far away from the nearest village/road and have pretty views, but even in Gerês or Estrela is impossible to hike all day and do not come across any remarks of civilization. That being said you'll not find many people since it's mostly old people living there and the rest rarely care for trails outside of well known and selfie like spots. In Estrela you have the cool ones,

As for Spain, well I can't really say anything about the Pyrenees because I haven't been there, but having hiked a fair bit in Galiza, Léon and Asturias I can say they suffer from the same problem as us, way too many villages along the trail, they have a far better managed and native flora still, at least you don't see eucalyptus all day long.
