walking poles/sticks

I'm arriving in St. Jean PdP next week to begin my walk. I'm not bringing my walking poles because I don't want to check any of my luggage on the airplane due to multiple stops before I arrive. Are walking poles available and what is the approximate cost to purchase them in St. Jean PdP...

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?

Hi everyone, In order to avoid flying overseas with my hiking poles, which unfortunately don't fit inside my backpack, I was thinking of buying hiking poles while in SJPDP or somewhere along the way. I once read that wooden hiking poles are for sale a little bit everywhere for 3 to 5 euros...

Hi, I'm currently looking to purchase some trekking poles, and am overwhelmed by choice. I've read reviews on the Komperdells which say the duo locking device does not work that well, reviews on the Leki Diva's that are a bit so so - then there are the Jacko Prostars and the Nordic walking...

reading the post about new age bores, the subject came up of these metal walking sticks. Surely they are a high tech solution to a low tech problem! When I got tired or needed more support than my legs would give me I would find a stick which would become my friend until I no longer needed it...

Where can I get/buy a pair of walking poles/sticks in Santander?
