Any idea where I might buy one in Oviedo? (Where I will begin my next Camino in May of this year.)

I use two trekking poles these days. But in the past I have bought an ordinary wooden broom handle from a ferreteria or China bazaar. Put a rubber walking stick ferrule at one end and tied my spare bootlaces as a wrist loop through the hanging hole at the other. Works well and very cheap. And you are unlikely to have it taken by mistake from the rack by the albergue door :cool:

PS: Rubbing some Vaseline or olive oil into the wood will improve the look of the thing!

I love the idea of a broomstick staff! Given how many have been produced over the years, I would imagine the design has been perfected by now!
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
