Anyone know of a shop in Irún selling Leki or Black Diamond Poles? (or higher quality poles)

Greetings Pilgrims!

After shipping my trusty trekking poles for past Caminos I'm considering just buying some "on the ground". While I know there are a few shops in Irún, I am not sure of the quality...and I'm a bit of a trekking pole snob; Carbon is what I prefer. (Respectfully, I don't need to be scolded or beat up over this, just looking to see if anyone may know of a place!)-- I like what I like, and I have my reasons. ;)

So with that said, anyone know what's on offer in Irún? I know there is a Decathlon, but I'm pretty certain they only sell their own brand.

Thanks in advance y Buen Camino!

I bought nice "Rock Experience" All Terrain from Inter Sports Irun main street (right hand side heading out on the Camino route) last May for about €75. Maybe not carbon but light, dependable. Tighten using clips, not twist. Nice retailer: allowed me to exchange earlier heavier ones I had bought two days after purchase.
 
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,-

I use Alltrails a lot here in the US, in Iceland, on the Via Podiensis and a bit on the CF. Will it be useful on the Norte? For example, people here say the "warm up" from Biarritz to Irun (or...
