Hi, anyone purchased trekking poles in San Sebastian within the last year or two?

There "appears" to be several stores - Decathalon, Forum Sport and Deportes Ada - wondering if they carry poles and if they sell something modestly priced...(I will leave them in Muxia when done)

Thx in advance!

(Have poles at home but not checking a bag - too many flights and too many stories of lost luggage these days)

Decathlon does carry poles, and they are low/modestly priced.

I liked the second least expensive poles I found in both Decathlons I visited. I think they were about 8 euro each, so 16 for the pair.
