Purchasing walking poles in Porto

I'm wondering if someone can recommend a place in Porto to purchase walking poles (and prices) if anyone has done this.
I have my favourite collapsible poles I used on the Camino Frances last year but will be doing more Ryan air type flights this year and I'm wanting to stay with a carry on bag only. I think it may be cheaper to buy a pair in Porto than to pay for a bag every flight as poles are generally not allowed in carry on bags. Any info will be much appreciated.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
You can also check out Sport Zone and the Camping Shop. They are both in the center Porto.

I bought poles at a great shop in the historical centre of Porto.

I can't recommend walking pole shops, I can highly recommend a nice desert and a glass of white port.

Oh yeah. You brought me happy memories of Porto!
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
