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.

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.

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