I'm currently staying near Oviedo, in the north of Spain. I know there are various Camino trails near here but I can't find any using Google maps and Google searching. Is it possible to find without downloading something to my phone?
Any recommendations?

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
A map app that's better for finding trails is mapy.cz.

It is another app to download though.

 
If you are interested in finding them use your browser to visit the Wikiloc website. You can search for and view trail tracks there. You can't download any of the tracks unless you are a member (free registration) but if you do you still need some app to follow the track. Google Maps could be used for this but I wouldn't recommend it; it wasn't designed for trail use.
 
IMHO, either buy enough data or download an app (Maps.cz, Wikiloc, Buen Camino, Wise Pilgrim...) over WiFi in order to download and use their offline maps. Trying to navigate Camino using a website and relying on cellular coverage is not likely to work well. And, as you have seen, Google Maps does not and cannot provide you guidance for walking.

Buena suerte.

Wassa problem with downloading a free app like Mapy.cz to your 'phone and using that?

There are indeed: the Norte, the Primitivo and the Salvador all interrelate with Oviedo and the lovely Hospis at the Albergue de peregrinos de El Salvador; the Tourist Office and, on a lucky day, the staff at the welcome desk in the Cathedral will all help you out.
