Outdoor gear shops on the Vdlp

[NomadBoomer]

How common are shops with outdoor gear on the Vdlp, in particular between Salamanca and Santiago via ourense?
Probably starting in two weeks and if I bring what I used before I may be a bit light on for cold and wet weather gear. On the Frances I was able to easily adjust a few things on the way as needed.

Hi. There is a large Decathlon at Salamanca. Useful for stocking up on cooler weather gear. Buen camino!

Also a Decathlon just east of the Camino as it leaves Zamora.

Also "Forum Sports" in Salamanca. I had to buy boots there in 2011, after my Merrills failed in about 600km

In larger cities the Corte Inglês department stores have extensive outdoor and sports sections often occupying a complete floor.

Great question NomadBoomer - I start on 28 April from Salamanca and was wondering the same thing
I have also heard there are many roadworks along the way - do you have any knowledge of roadworks/path disruptions between Salamanca & Santiago via Camino Sabres - Buen Camino

Unfortunately I have no knowledge of the diversions. I was hoping that they were mostly over. Looks like I will be a couple of weeks ahead of you. I will post a couple of times when under way.

When I walked the Sanabres last September there were many diversions because of the new railway. However, it wasn't difficult to follow the route - just stay alert and look for the signs/arrows. You'll be fine!
