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

Time of past OR future Camino
Twice walked from St Jean to Estella and once from Sarria to Santiago. Maybe someday I'll find the time to do the entire walk.
I've found the time. Just completed SJPP to Santiago. 25 Aug to 1st Oct, 2016.
And now the Portuguese from Lisbon.
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.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
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 o_O
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
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
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.
