Second-hand poles in Pamplona

[Leila99]

Hi. I‘m starting CF tomorrow from Pamplona. I had to abandon my poles in SDC airport. I could buy new ones in Decathlon Pamplona and donate them at the end. Otherwise do you know where I could get used ones in Pamplona? Also I have seen on the web that the Pilgrim Office is closed on Tuesday. Could it really be when pilgrims come every day ? Thank you for you suggestions. Starting the camino feels much less daunting having this great forum family on the side

Not true. It's open every day except Christmas and New Year's Day.

Not sure I understand, but there's no pilgrim office in Pamplona. You might check a few albergues to see if poles (edit: not piles) have been left in the donation bin. Otherwise, try Caminoteca or Decathlon in Pamplona for a new set of poles.

If you can't find second hand or donated poles go to Caminoteca before going to Decathlon. It is around the corner from the muni and the owner and staff are great. He can use your money alot more than Decathlon which is a very large chain. I think we should always support local business first.

Update. I’ve arrived in Pamplona. I went to Caminoteca. They were very helpful. Got basic model and somebody will hopefully use them later on too. I also went to the Utreia Office and sure enough they are closed on Tuesday. Well. Never mind. The cathedral is breathtaking. I’m stating in the Jesus and Maria. Very lively and getting full. I guess I won’t need to set my alarm in the morning
