Where can we buy hiking Poles

[dalessandrodd]

We are walking the Camino Portuguese heading north from Tomar . A friend walking with us desperately needs to buy hiking poles. Where can we find a store on the Camino that sells poles? Thanks for any assistance

Just look for the typical ‘chinese’ store that are in most big towns/cities.

Lots of Decathlons in Portugal. Not sure what route you are following, but they are in most of the larger cities (but sadly, not Tomar).

You can also go to the Sports Zone. THey will have hiking poles. It is about 1.5k from the best albergue in Tomar, Hostel 2300.

decathlon, or ask at airport as people leave poles there as not allowed on flights

I always buy inexpensive poles when I arrive to walk the Caminos. I always used to go to Decathlon to purchase them; sometimes walking quite a distance to get there. I now check on Google maps for China Bazaars in the city and there are usually a couple to choose from for a similar price of 7-9 euros each, and the location is often closer to where I am staying.
