I’m coming up empty on whether a Sello can be obtained at the Leon Cathedral - are they available? Much appreciated.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
If I recall correctly there is a museum attached to the cathedral. I was able to get my passport stamp from them. I don't recall trying the cathedral itself. Cheers
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
As I recall it works like this: If you go in through the main entrance you pay for cathedral admission and get given audio etc if that's what you want. After wandering around for a bit, the signage pretty much shepherds you out through the cathedral shop where you can ask for the sello.
Alternatively you can go straight to the cathedral shop on the left side of the main entrance and request the sello without going through the cathedral. I think you can also walk around the cloisters there for free, where they've parked a lot of sculpture...

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Here is a thought, somewhat related. I dont know if "they" still do it, but right at the entry to the Cathedral there was a bunch of "souvenir" books available when I was there in June of last year. Not the little cheapy ones - more like something you'd by in the Museum store. Not overly large either (although I would still probably mail it out home instead of walking with it to SdC and possibly beyond).....
Anyways, if that is still true - grab one (heck do so anyway!) and when getting your Credential stamped with Sello - ask if they will stamp the book (the inside black left cover page for example). Honestly I see no reason for refusing to to so and hopefully they wont
IMHO, that would make a GREAT gift for either a clergy or an architect friend or acquaintance you may have.
I did grab a book with intention to present that to my Pastors (husband & wife team, and she was instrumental in me "finding" the Camino and obviously embarking on it) but I wish that I had the Sello in it for them
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
