Nope, a macaron is not a macaroon. They aren’t coconut at all. They come in all sorts of flavors / colors. A good French patisserie should have macarons ...but probably not macaroons

León is a great city and spending a day is a must if you have the time. The walk out of town is not so bad...yes, it is streets and an industrial area, but not terrible. Hospital de Obrigo is fascinating but I can highly recommend Albugue El Encanto in Villares de Obrigo, just a short walk...
