Planned Camino Frances in May 2023
We are walking the Camino Portuguese heading north from Tomar . A friend walking with us desperately needs to buy hiking poles. Where can we find a store on the Camino that sells poles? Thanks for any assistance
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Lots of Decathlons in Portugal. Not sure what route you are following, but they are in most of the larger cities (but sadly, not Tomar).

decathlon, or ask at airport as people leave poles there as not allowed on flights
 
I always buy inexpensive poles when I arrive to walk the Caminos. I always used to go to Decathlon to purchase them; sometimes walking quite a distance to get there. I now check on Google maps for China Bazaars in the city and there are usually a couple to choose from for a similar price of 7-9 euros each, and the location is often closer to where I am staying.
 
Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
