So, if I start walking backwards from Santiago in Feb, I will need an umbrella and a stick. I am sure I saw a China Store in the old town somewhere. Could someone please remind me exactly where it is so I can buy a cheap umbrella? And where’s the best place to pick up a stick? At the Pilgrim House? (That’s where I left mine on a previous camino.) Thanks!

The best place to acquire a stick, is in the garden of the Camino office where pilgrims get their compostellas. There is a box where pilgrims can leave their staffs, and you can choose one which suits you. It is a great pleasure to choose one which already has the prestige of making its way to Santiago.

Hi Jill,
I'm in Santiago now and @SYates has offered you a stick.
A Chinese bazaar is located in the old town on Rúa da Caldeireria (extensión Rúa das Orfas).
Saludos

Great! I will be going there to get a sello, so if SY is not at home I can pick up a stick there too.

Hi Jill,
In February Pilgrim House will still be closed for the winter, but if you need something just let me know!
Buen Camino - it's coming up now!

If you still don't have a stick head over to the Pilgrim House, Rua Nova #19. they usually have all manner of Camino gear in their donativo.

But, the Pilgrim Office idea is a very good one, as is SYates...
