What I did in April: Asked at the private Albergue where I stayed in Porto if they had any left poles, and they did. Apparently many pilgrims fly out of Porto post camino, and leave poles at the albergues. They had 5 pairs that I could choose from.
gronze.com is a good resource listing accomodation. Labruge has a municipal albergue with 50 beds. I stayed there in February (with only one other pilgrim!)
Did that 2 weeks ago. I used the Wise pilgrim app. There are yellow arrows, but it is anyway good to have an app.. I did not pay enough attention, so got lost and added about 3 km to my walk that day. Many small roads and opportunities to get lost.
