Hi Carolina,
Google: Decathlon Madrid. There are several stores in the city. They usually have lots of useful and inexpensive hiking clothes and equipment.
Buen camino.

Camino Way markers in Bronze
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.
Carolina, buena suerte, you are going to love el camino. Muchos caminantes from Sarria to Santiago. Can you get the backpack in Uruguay? In this way you can practice with your backpack on. Buena suerte y que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.
 
Hi Carolina and welcome to the start of a wonderful experience.

Only thing I wouldn't buy from Decathlon is a backpack. Not a scientific study but two of the ladies I walked with last year had problems with pain caused by rubbing from a Decathlon back pack near the hip belt.

Buen Camino,

Rob.
 
Walking from Sarria in June you really will not require much equipment, so no need to spend too much money. Buy the lightest minimal sleeping bag I would say and a backpack no bigger than 35 liters. Also there is a nice outdoor equipment store in Sarria itself.
 
Camino Preparation Guide
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Do you know any other store? Thanks
 
Hi Carolina,

Sorry. I do not know about the stores in Madrid but I'm sure someone else will be able to help.

Rob.
