Where to buy a credential in León, Spain?

New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
Any advice on where to buy a credential in León?

Many thanks in advance!
In Leon you can get a Credential here
ar the Carbajalas pilgrim albergue,
pl. Sta Maria del Camino, 3.
You need not stay there to get the Credential.

During easier times I stayed 10 times (!), in the Carbajalas pilgrim albergue and peeked at their Hospideria PAX facilities on the same plaza. PAX appeared to be very comfortable with private accommodation which you can reserve. PAX also has a proper dining room open to all.

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.

Many thanks!!

Leon Cathedral or closest Tourists Information office!
A lot of Albergues have spare Credentials as well!
You could have got one before you left, from your own country’s confraternity of st James society!
 
Thank you, all! We picked up the credentials at Carbajalas pilgrim albergue this morning. : )

The trip came together a bit quickly, and I ran out of time to request one at home...

Here is a pic from 2016, I love the simplicity of the sketch map and directions "1 km climb up, 5km flat, 5km down". I wonder how the prices are now?
