Trekking Poles in Santiago

[Jenguyfree]

I have read on a 2012 thread that it is possible to borrow walking poles that have been left by other pilgrims? Is that still the case? If not are there places to buy trekking poles in Santiago and how much do they cost?

Isn't that the wrong end of the Camino? We did walk backwards one time but that's not the case for most pilgrims starting the Camino.

@Jenguyfree asked where to find poles in Santiago.

Lots of the hostels have left behind poles and also the Pilgrim centre used to have plenty.
