Still in the vision phase, not even actual planning. But I already wonder where in Oviedo I could buy hiking poles and tent pegs. If possible I might just fly in with hand baggage only and buy these two essentials on the ground in Oviedo as they are not allowed in cabin luggage.
Does anyone know if there is a shop, rather central and with good opening hours? Maybe even on a weekend?

BTW, not planing this as a tent-trip, but might take a tarp or similar with me as emergency shelter for the occasional night where I might not find accommodation.

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
There are TWO Decathlon sporting goods store in Oviedo, so you can get everything you need there. However, smaller backpacks are allowed on nearly all commercial flights. Unless you are walking a snow camino, a 40L or smaller bag is plenty big for all your needs.

Thank you!
The backpack is not a problem, just the tent-pegs and the poles as airlines do not allow them :) But those I would certainly find at a Decathlon for sure!

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
El Corte Inglés at Calle Uria 9 had a sports/camping type section a few years ago. Open Monday -Saturday 10.00-22.00.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Thanks to those of you who have wished me Buen Camino pm! My plan was Salvador/Prim, but 1) cold feet because of a knee (old injury) and 2) would have to rush with no possibilty of short/rest...
We are arriving in Madrid on May 5th. I went online today to purchase train tickets to Oviedo and it doesn't show any train service. Does that mean the trains are sold out? Or maybe some other...
