We recently discovered the Spanish Hiking store Decathlon, and it absolutely blew our minds.
It was like walking through an American REI, except everything was unbelievably affordable. We stopped by to drop big money on fleece that we had not packed for the cool May weather, prepared to spend 40€ on quality hiking fleece. At Decathlon, we found Qechua hiking brand fleece sweaters for 5€. Unbelieveable. Zip off hiking pants, 25€. Packable day packs, 3€. Full hiking packs, 30€. I couldn’t believe it. Clearly we should have stopped at this store sooner than Ponferrada! I highly recommend shopping here not only for the items you forget to bring, but possibly for everything you need on the Camino!
