Buying walking poles in Seville?

[Donna Sch]

I would prefer not to buy poles in Australia and will be starting my camino in Seville. Can anyone tell me where I can definitely find hiking poles and are Pacer Poles available in Spain. Or should I get them to post them to me in Spain?

Try "El Corte Inglés". In the sportsdepartment you can always buy walking poles.
The selection can be seen online.

I'm sure there are travel stores in Sevilla. A quick internet search might help?

Hi, Donna,
If you're taking the train into Sevilla, this store is near the Santa Justa train station, which is the new station where the AVE arrives. http://www.deportemania.org/ It looks like a serious running/hiking store, so I'm pretty confident they'll have poles. Calle Samaniego 10.

This blog lists Deportemania and two others. http://gatosconcasco.desnivel.com/blogs/2012/12/27/tiendas-de-montana-en-sevilla-capital/

Annie's suggestion of Decathlon is a good one, but in my experience their locations are way out of town in the industrial area and hard to get to. Though some caminos pass close by because a lot of caminos leave big cities by passing through industrial areas. Not sure about the situation in Sevilla. Buen camino, Laurie
