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?

I have not visited this store, but I have visited other Decathlon stores. Wide selection, moderate prices.

The Porto Decathon is easily reached by Metro or on foot if you are staying in the city's center.

Decathlon · Rua de Fernandes Tomás 508, 4000-211 Porto, Portugal

âââââ · Sporting goods store

The best place is definitely Decathlon. You could go to Santa Catarina in downtown, or Matosinhos where there is a much bigger store.

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.
