Molly, perhaps try calling one of the many China bazaar stores in Oviedo. They are open Sundays.
Or you might be able to buy your poles at an Oviedo sporting goods store by phone & they could leave them for you at a pre-arranged location?
Though...
There is a sports store in Grado; Deportes Pedro, C el Curato, 17, 33829, Grado. Phone is +34 985 75 19 80 There is no website that I could find, but the google reviews strongly suggest a wide variety of sporting goods.
Worst case scenario...
Generally Spanish shops do not open on Sunday, except for a few convenience stores. You could order online from Decathlon and have them delivered to your accommodation in Oviedo (check with them first, of course).
Hi, I start my Camino from Oviedo on Sunday the 23rd of June. I was hoping to buy some hiking poles from the Decathlon store, but it doesn’t seem to open on a Sunday, nor do the other hiking stores.
Does anyone know if there is Sunday openings...
Its not so much what was missed, as it was what I had that was too much. I gave away stuff along the way. I had a self wash clothes bag, gave away; 2 walking sticks, only needed one; clothes clips to hang up, gave away; they were not heavy items...
