Look at internet for any Decathlon store around Ferrol. They sell themOkay, so I get into Santiago July 18 then bus to Ferrol where I am staying the night. Is there any place in particular where I might buy a walking stick by the Harbour or in town before I head off the next morning?

Rough translation of Johnnie's guide:-
'Views' - a hill;
'Good views' - a steep hill
'Cardiovascular excercise' - a very steep hill
We actually found the hill out of Pontedeume harder than the dreaded hill after Casa Julia, maybe partly because one is granite setts and the other is a track and kinder to the feet. Pontedeume = cardiovascular excercise, while Casa Julia to Bruma is more 'good views' if it wasn't for the trees.
Unless things have changed then don't expect to pass places that are catering for pilgrims wanting sticks etc, it is probably better to get a stick before leaving Santiago.
It would be helpful to know exactly where the Ferrol Decathlon store is please.
