Exchanging Hiking Poles @Santiago Aug 16,2024

[Juhuja]

Hi there,
I'm off for my first Camino (Camino Ingles) on August 16, 2024. I was wondering if there is anybody out there, who's finished the Camino and doesn't need his or her hiking/walking poles anymore on August 16. I would be glad if we could somehow exchange them at the Airport in Santiago. I arrive approx. at 9AM. Maybe there is somebody.
I would also leave them behind for some pilgrim in search of walking poles on August 22, 2024.
Buen Camino!

You can check with Pilgrim House. They often have hiking poles and other items that pilgrims don't want to take home.

You can also check at your accommodation. I picked up a discarded set at my albergue in Santiago, used them to walk to Finisterre, then Porto to Santiago. Then I left them where I found them.

Ivar has also mentioned that he occasionally has a few in-store (I think for a small donation?)

Pilgrim House is a wonderful place with great people who do a real service for pilgrims. Go there before and after. Please don't forget to leave a donation. Also you can pay Ivar a visit he is just a few doors away

Definitely a place to visit - they even had a ukulele when I was there to "rent" a pole for my Ingles.
