walking groups in costa blanca

Hi all,

I know this is an old thread but it just popped up on Google so i thought I would give it a try...

Those who walk in Spain (not neccessarily limited to the Costa blanca region) - where do you purchase your walking clothes / equipment / shoes? Is there a store in Costa blanca which you would recommend?

All comments welcome!

Hi Wendy

I buy my walking gear at Decathlon they are all over the country and there are several in the Costa Blanca

this is the link to find the store nearest to you :

Thanks Ian. I will take a look.

I've also been looking into buying from the UK and having items delivered... postage seems to cost around £7 per order but the prices do seem lower on the whole...

Stores that I used to shop at whilst in the UK now deliver to Spain e.g. Cotton traders, Blacks. Has anyone had anything delivered from the UK?

Hi, just to follow up - I checked out a few of the stores I mentioned and Cotton traders were offering some walking shoes for half price (down to £15). I had them delivered and am v pleased. V comfy - I wouldn't recommend wearing them to walk up and down mountains but they are perfect for the strolls I know and love!

Thanks for your help.
