Walking poles to buy in St Jean?

[JackyG]

Hey all I leave for St Jean this Thursday and just realised can’t bring poles on Ryanair unless bag is checked which mine isn’t. Are there places to buy them in St Jean and would I get decent ones at a reasonable price? Thanks!

Where are you flying into. Let's say it's Madrid. There you would have to go from the airport to the Attocha Train Station. There's a Decathlon about 6 blocks from Attocha

Yea no problem, the shop near the pilgrim office has loads of choice, from a simple wooden “pilgrim” stick to premium walking poles.

I just bought some hiking poles in the shop just down from the pilgrim office last week. They were very helpful in helping me choose and also in showing me the best way to use them.

I got one of these, put my backpack in it with my poles and checked it in. That was on the way back because I had bought them in Pamplona. Buen Camino.

I was there a few days back.. This store is small and is mostly clothing.
