Time of past OR future Camino

I arrived in Oviedo yesterday. A few questions/problems hopefully I can get help with.
1. Are there any English speaking pilgrims in Oviedo currently? Would love to be able to have a conversation.
2. Looking for cheap trekking poles and a scallop shell. Not having any luck finding either. Recommendations?

There is also the Friends of the Camino Association called:

Technically a pilgrim receives the shell in Santiago when they completed their pilgrimage.

Unfortunately, I will not be posting anything in the forum or FB or email. I want peace and tranquility on this pilgrimage. I "might" look at the forum, but probably not. Sorry

Understood, Buen Camino!
 
I hear that the Decathlon store has the poles - it’s near the camino route.
