Hiking Poles - Burgos

[dchulack]

My daughter and I will need to purchase hiking poles in Burgos. We will be staying near the Cathedral. Does anyone know if there is some place nearby to purchase and if not nearby, transportation options? Thank you for any suggestions AND Buen Camino to all.

Welcome to the forum.

There may be a store closer to the cathedral, but you can always walk to Decathlon where you will find a good selection of poles.

It's about a 35 - 40 minute walk from the cathedral area. This link should display the location in Google maps.

Buen Camino

Look for the ever present ‘Chinese’ shops that sell a bit of evrything. They will sell good poles and bit less expensve. The last omnes O bought from such a shop have done more than 4000kms with me.

Search Google Maps using

Tienda de Deportes near Burgos Cathedral, Spain

And you will find many options close by. Most will be closed on a Sunday.

There's also a free bus that will take you out to Decathlon.

Did that very thing yesterday. Next to the statue of el cid, the hourly (hah!) free white bus picks up to go to the hypercor, where decathlon is. We picked up our 6euro poles which are fine, the free bus taking us back to burgos afterwards.
