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.

please could anyone advise the current status of accomodation in albergues et al. We (couple) are starting on Wednesday next week. Thanks
An article on the El Correo website reporting on very high occupancy rates at the albergue in Markina on the Camino del Norte. Full almost daily...
Hello everyone, I will have to work digitally about every other day from Irun to SdC (bringing an iPad). What are the wifi connections like along the entire route? What about the Primitivo? Thanks.
I’m travelling to Irún today to start my Camino tomorrow morning - I’m flying to Biarritz getting in at 4pm, planning on catching the bus to Hendaye and walking to the pilgrims hostel from there...
