Ponchos in Sarria?

Hi, I leave in five days (newbie, Frances). This may sound like a silly question, but where exactly in Sarria can I buy a really good rain poncho? My local store is sold out of anything that will cover my pack. I am really short, barely 5 feet tall, so I need a very small size, but with proper sleeves (ie not a loose garbage-bag fit). I searched the threads and apparently there are sports equipment stores in Sarria, but can I please have an actual address where I can buy a poncho? I think I have everything else, thanks!

The shop Peregrinoteca, is a handy place in Sarria to buy outdoor gear. See their catalogue here.
This is a great shop located on the edge of the camino at:
Rúa Benigno Quiroga, 16, bajo,
27600 Sarria, Lugo, Spain

PS.. Their catalogue has 6 sturdy ponchos.

They are at the bottom of the BIG stairs, to the right, on the corner, IIRC.
 
Peregrinoteca is a very nice store with high quality merchandise. However, it’s useful to know there’s a cheap Chinese store more or less opposite on the other side of the main road. I bought a cheap, ultralight, nylon daypack for €6 to evenly distribute any food shopping I might do at the end of the day. I’ve found it a very useful little pack since returning home ! The daypacks in Peregrinoteca were much nicer, but started at €20 (&, being more substantial, would not have fulfilled the ongoing uses that the cheap one does…).

I’d guess they likely have ponchos…
