The other things can be found in some cases, but only if the trail starts somewhere that has these amenities for other reasons (e.g. a park, castle or other tourist attraction). I have never heard of a blister service! When I map hiking trails I try to map the information board if there is one, as well as mapping the relation. I often find the other amenities, if they exists, have already been mapped by non-hikers.
I'd say it is pretty much the same in the south of Spain where I also hike a bit, except for the famous Caminito del Rey where entry is controlled by tickets with timed entry slots. This is truly a oneway route. It is not just that the waymarks only point one way: it is actually prohibited to go backwards. You enter by the northern end and are expected to emerge at the southern end.
