Hi all,
We are walking from Sarria to Sdc and then Muxia/Fisterra in the beginning of June. As flying both ways with hand luggage only not able to take our walking poles. Were planning to buy ones, but then we would need to get rid of them again... Seems not really effective and hardly environmentally friendly...
Just wondering if anyone knows if there are places in Sdc where pilgrims leave their unneeded poles as a donation?
I reckon, the airport would be a good guess, but I would be feeling ashamed asking there
We basically would need them for two weeks and could donate to anyone else after again.
Any chance, Casa Ivar might have those? Or municipal albergue? We are happy to pay for hire.
Thanks a lot.

Ask @natefaith of the SdC Pilgrim House. They seem a logical spot.
