Where to buy hiking poles in Porto

Not sure if this belongs in the Equipment forum so I will probably post in both! Where would you recommend I go to buy reasonably priced hiking poles in Porto?
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The best place is definitely Decathlon. You could go to Santa Catarina in downtown, or Matosinhos where there is a much bigger store.

 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
Again, Decathlon. Cheap to good quality stuff. The stores are open every day, even Sundays.
The great Porto area has a few.

If you walk the coastal route the value of walking sticks is not very high. Even the central route is only hilly not a mountainous area. If you don't walk through Braga (another route from Porto) the next Decathlon will be in Vigo, which is not part of the central camino.
 
I bought poles at a great little outdoor supply shop in the historical centre of Porto:

Laventura
Website: laventura.pt
Address: Rua Trinidad Coelho n. 40
4050-618 Porto
Phone: 220 113 593

Wishing you Bom Caminho!

I saw on their facebook page that this store is closed as of May 2019.
