Guys
We bought poles at the start and need to leave them behind.
We are in SdC, where would you recommend?
Thanks
David
"All airlines with departures from Santiago airport, and that includes low budget carriers like Ryanair, will honour an agreement that is not widely known: they will check in walking poles without any charges."
No such link exists. I posted a link to an article about this but it is old. A number of pilgrims have confirmed that they checked poles in Santiago for free (i.e. when this option was not included in their ticket).I've never seen or heard of this but would be very useful. Could you post a link to the agreement please?
Is undermanager on the Camino too, or did they just ask as question about a link to checking poles at the airport - I posted just after and will be in Santiago on 13th.If the Pilgrims House will accept them tomorrow, I'll advise that @Undermanager will call in for them on the 13th
Either way, I'll be dropping them off tomorrow when we leaveIs undermanager on the Camino too, or did they just ask as question about a link to checking poles at the airport - I posted just after and will be in Santiago on 13th.
If your poles are available I’d love to accept them, if not, then I hope undermanager gets on well with them.
Either way, thank you x

Pilgrim House is closed today ( Sunday)
Or you could put these to a new use. This is a Basque group in the Praza do Obradoiro with their own piper using the walking poles to beat out a celebratory chant. Great music.
My husband left his at one of the last Albergues we stayed at but I brought mine home flying with Ryanair, Air France and Westjet with no problem.Guys

It was great to catch-up with Nate after reading about the Pilgrim House, and seeing your interview with Ivar.Yes! Come to Pilgrim House tomorrow between 10am - 6pm and we'd be happy to take them. Nate will be on duty tomorrow and I'm sure he'd enjoy meeting you.
@julia-t We have a whole bunch of trekking poles right now so you're welcome to take a pair for sure!
Buen Camino to all!

A great drop in, which we liked very much
Will do so again on our next Camino
On Wednesday I’m coming from Sigueiro so should get in to the city in time for lunch.I just remembered - we're closed on Wednesdays. What time do you get in, and will you be around Thursday to pick some up? Otherwise, I do know pilgrims have left poles in the Pilgrim's Office.
It was lovely meeting you today and putting a ”name to the face”It was great to catch-up with Nate after reading about the Pilgrim House, and seeing your interview with Ivar.

Phew is right!Glad to meet you too.
Also, the documentation problem with the flight was solved at the airport, phew.

Thursday I’m planning on walking to Negreira so would like to leave Santiago not much later than 9am. What time do you open?
I’ll try to pick some up at the pilgrim office when I get in, otherwise not to worry.
Thank you all for helping out x
I am one of those who would like to get poles for Muxia!!I have left three sets of trekking poles in Santiago (I get rid of about 50% of the stuff I bring with me before I fly home). Inexpensive ones, simply not worth taking home, but still very serviceable save needing new rubber tips. I leave them in the common area of wherever I am staying in Santiago before going home. Odd thing is, is that I am leaving the poles at the destination point of the journey not the beginning, lol. I suppose there are a few people who may need them to walk to Fisterre or Muxia, but that trek only takes 3-4 days.
Based on comments on this thread it sounds like you will have no problem finding a free set of trekking poles to walk to Muxia, but it is a short trek there. Easy walking and only three days.I am one of those who would like to get poles for Muxia!!
