I need some new socks and some warm gloves and maybe another warm top. Can anyone recommend where to get such pilgrim supplies in the center of León?

Right now it’s rainy and in high 50s, low 60s Fahrenheit. Suggest you check weather app for next week!Please, what is the temperature now in León ? I should get there by next saturday.
Does it rain daily ?
Yes! Try Castro's. One store is close to the cathedral, the other just a little further out. I was there today before siesta.I need some new socks and some warm gloves and maybe another warm top. Can anyone recommend where to get such pilgrim supplies in the center of León?
Love that suggestion! Thanks!@AbuelitaWalking Try getting some oversized diswashing gloves in the supermercado ... they may look funky but work well over gloves when it is cold and rainy.
Thanks! I was there today as well—they are great! They actually talked me out of getting any more gear…thought I was fine with what I have for what lies ahead…I have enormous respect for that approach to business. They now have a new raving fan even though they did not sell me anything!Yes! Try Castro's. One store is close to the cathedral, the other just a little further out. I was there today before siesta.
Thank you so much ! Good to know even though I think I’m set.There's a Decathlon in León
