Since I just spent three days' forced R&R in León, I thought I would put in a plug for the place I stayed. I got the name from someone on this forum, not sure who, but it was a terrific suggestion.
Pensión Blanca. Villafranca 2 (corner with Ordoño II)
single rooms 27-30
double rooms 43
triple 55
with shared bath (two rooms share a bath) -- individual 22, double 35
Additional benefits: The place is spotless, breakfast is included, there is a free, pretty fast computer in the sitting room, the fully equipped kitchen and refrigerator can be used by guests, huge load of clothes washed and dried 7 euros.
There are 7 rooms. The owner is Blanca, a very nice honest and trusting soul. In the three days I was there, there were only two others walking the camino, which I thought was very odd. The pensión is right on that main street that goes from the river to the cathedral and changes names several times, but it's no more than a 10 minute walk from the cathedral. It's not in the old part of town, but for me that was a plus because on a Friday night I was able to have my window open and no earplugs!
In any event, I highly recommend it. Phone: 987-251-991
Buen camino, Laurie
