Buying walking poles in Santiago or Muxia

Time of past OR future Camino
16th May 2024 planned
Having had two sets of poles taken from me at the airport on my return flight (traveling cabin luggage only) I want to buy poles cheaply on arrival before O begin my Camino..either in Santiago or Muxia where I start. Any suggestions?
 
Get a Spanish mobil number + data while on the Camino
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
There is a Decathlon City branch just outside the historic centre of Santiago - near the Alameda park. But it is probably worth asking your hotel or albergue if any have been left there by previous visitors. Or drop in at Pilgrim House and ask if there are spare ones that have been left there. Huge numbers of used poles are left by pilgrims every year.

 
Thanks. Wish I'd left mine somewhere that others could pick up rather than at the airport. I'll check those out.

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Check out Ivar too. He has a decent collection of poles that folks have left behind.
 
Altus Poncho (ATMOSPHERIC H30)
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 picked up some at the albergue where I was staying in Santiago, then walked to Muxia, Finisterre and from Porto back to Santiago, where I left those poles at the same albergue. Hopefully someone else gets to use them too
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
I’m going to donate my poles to a needy peregrino at the big donation, San Nicolas de Flüe, in Ponferrada when I get there tomorrow.
