I have postponed buying poles until I get to Porto. Was this an ok move?

Welcome to the forum, @Eddiecanuck!
No problem with the question, and we are glad to have you ask on the forum. I'll just take advantage of the occasion to remind people how the Search function does work quite well, at least for some questions...
Searching for "pole porto" quickly gave me this thread.
Searching for "staff sjpp" was a bit trickier, but "poles sjpp" identified this thread. The first reply has a link to one shop in SJPP and contact information to a second shop, and you can then make a specific request to them. But maybe someone with recent personal experience will be able to comment on the supply of staffs, rather than sticks/poles.

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

They start at €6 each for basic ones. I've used them and found them quite adequate.

The 6 euros ones do they fold down to fit into a pack? I am flying into Milan to do part of the VF and hope to find some poles that fit into my pack.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Ive used them too. Cheap and cheerful but fine for helping balance. Although I have my own, I'm going to do the same as it is crazy to pay more than the value of the poles to put them in the hold.
