Anyone know if there's a shop in Cacabelos where I could buy a walking pole?

The machine that connects your card to the hotel's bank took so long I eventually paid with cash. I hoisted my pack onto my back and went up to my room. It was only when I got there that I realised I'd forgotten my Lexi walking pole. When I got back down to reception it was gone.

Equipa-t, Avda. Constitución 18 24540 Cacabelos Spain looks to be your best bet. But I think I'd try asking Reception where they put it first
Or try the left-behind box at the Albergue Plaza el Santuario, 9, 24540 Cacabelos, León, Spain

@ Tincatinker got their first and found a shop that I couldn't, but here's a suggestion which might now be redundant. Have you considered getting a bus back to Pontferrada? There is a regular service and a sports shop in the town - Forum Sport on Avenida Asturias, tel 987 406 556 open 10am -10pm. They also have a variety of walking poles

Have you tried the municipal for any left behind poles and leaving a donation. Or other albergue, pension etc.?

There's a pharmacy just across the street from the hotel, Siglo XIX, has a range of ordinary walking sticks and hiking poles. I bought one there.
