I want to make the purchase in Santiago. Any suggestions as to where? Is there a second hand store where such items are sold or is new the only option? Thanks in advance.

Go to the Albergue Blanco. They have a full bin of discards, free for the taking.I want to make the purchase in Santiago. Any suggestions as to where? Is there a second hand store where such items are sold or is new the only option? Thanks in advance.

Hi, the Pilgrim House at Rua Nova 19 has a bin at the front door where arriving pilgrims can abandon their poles and sticks. I left mine there, and there were a few others in the bin. I am sure you can pick one up there for free. Perhaps Nate and Faith of the Pilgrim House could confirm that.

Yes, nice for the OP, but the majority of pilgrims need them brought back to SJPdP!Roots and Boots have stacks of abandoned poles, some high quality.
