Bronze or similar scallop shells.

I know this has been discussed before but I can't find the thread, so apologies in advance.
I am in Santiago for three nights and would like to trace the small shop that sells bronze or heavy metal shells . I would like to set one into a path at home. I believe it is an ironmongers or similar.
Thanks in anticipation.

Thank you so much. Using the phone app seemed to cause me problems.
On my way now.

Had a gentle walk up to the shop, it is everything that was good about old fashioned shopping. There was a gent in front who had a problem with a crutch and the owner cleaned it and sanded off old glue then set a new rubber stop for him all for €2 .
There was a good selection of hand made metal shells ranging in price from €18 - €30. All a bargain compared to the mass produced products sold everywhere.
Thank you again for the directions.

The tourist shop across from the cathedral sells them - they are numbered for authenticity. Expensive though, from memory €300 in brass. They look great. I have the Galician one and there is another, I think from Leòn, it’s longer and slimmer in design. There is an ironmonger in Santiago as well but they didn’t have anything close to the same quality
