Time of past OR future Camino
August 16-22,2024
Hi there,
I'm off for my first Camino (Camino Ingles) on August 16, 2024. I was wondering if there is anybody out there, who's finished the Camino and doesn't need his or her hiking/walking poles anymore on August 16. I would be glad if we could somehow exchange them at the Airport in Santiago. I arrive approx. at 9AM. Maybe there is somebody.
I would also leave them behind for some pilgrim in search of walking poles on August 22, 2024.
Buen Camino!
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
You can check with Pilgrim House. They often have hiking poles and other items that pilgrims don't want to take home.

Pilgrim House Santiago | Welcome Center | Santiago De Compostela

The Pilgrim House Welcome Center is a space for the pilgrims engaged heart and searching soul. Our center is not only a place for pilgrims to find respite from their travels, but more importantly, a place to find the space needed to sit with whatever is stirring in their hearts.

Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
You can also check at your accommodation. I picked up a discarded set at my albergue in Santiago, used them to walk to Finisterre, then Porto to Santiago. Then I left them where I found them.

Pilgrim House is a wonderful place with great people who do a real service for pilgrims. Go there before and after. Please don't forget to leave a donation. Also you can pay Ivar a visit he is just a few doors away

Definitely a place to visit - they even had a ukulele when I was there to "rent" a pole for my Ingles.
 
Thank You everybody! I will keep all this in mind.
