Poles in Porto

I'll be buying hiking poles in Porto and I do NOT want to buy at Decathalon, which reminds me too much of Walmart. I see there is Camping Store in Porto, but the site does not show hiking poles (so much other gear, though...so maybe?) There was mention of a North Face store? Who has purchased poles in porto NOT from Decatholon? Would appreciate your recommendations.
 
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.
I don't know where you are now , when you are still in the US buy them there.
Problem solved.
 
I purchased from Porto Decathalon and I didn’t find anything wrong with the store or brand. You’d probably have to call that camping store to see if they have piles or email them. I asked on both this forum and Reddit in March about poles in Porto and Decathalon was the only place in Porto that people knew of. You can bring poles from home if willing to check your bag but I don’t think your dislike of Decathalon is worth the hassle of finding an alternative.
 
Camino Ready, Backpacks, Boots etc
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Why don’t you like Decathlon? They have some really user-friendly and lightweight poles right now. As for the quality of their other gear, some items I’ve had for years and they’re still going strong. All at nice prices.

As to the hiking store, calling them to find out if they sell poles is a good idea.

I live in Porto and bought my poles in Decathlon and I have nothing to complaint.
But you can order from Amazon.es and pick them up in a locker of your choice. I buy a lot from Amazon.es and they work great and deliver fast in Porto

You might check with the El Corte Ingles. Haven’t been to the store in Porto, by at least in Barcelona they carried hiking poles.
 
Just saw this on another Camino board So not sure as to the accuracy.

“Sport Zone in the Via Catarina shopping mall situated on R de Santa Catarina in central Porto definitely has poles.”

Did you purchase in States and delivered in Porto? Where to you send the items? Never ordered like that. Thanks

For Portugal you could order from Amazon.pt. Ask your accommodation if they will accept delivery for you, or have them sent to an Amazon locker near where you will be staying.

But I think that it would be easier to head over to a Decathlon store to buy them. You can even order them ahead from Decathlon.pt to pick up at the store.
