LIVE from the Camino Camera store in León? (Or on the way)

Hola y buenos dias :)

My friend lost his Nikon d50 camera battery and charger.

We are currently in Cirueña and hoping to come across a professional camera store in two days time in Burgos.

Our experience so far has shown us that most camera stores do not carry his specific camera charger and battery type, and that it will take 6 days to ship out. Because of this, we would like to call ahead to a shop in León so that it will be there by the time we arrive.

Might any one know of a shop along the way that may be able to accommodate our needs? Or maybe even the contact info of one?

Muchos gracias!

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.
There is a camera/electronics store in the Plaza Mayor in Burgos.

Thank you guys for the responses! We are in Burgos now, and the camera store by the cathedral "Telefoto Azul" was very helpful but did not offer the battery type for the Nikon d50. We will check the Nikon EU website as you suggested and hopefully find something in Leon. If not I believe we'll ship it at the post office here. Btw there is anther camera store in Burgos by the Catedral, just past the "el peregrino" tourist store in the same plaza as Telefoto Azul :)
 
Shipping cost for the Nikon d50 camera was around 25 euros. Not bad at all-- however even the woman at the post office suggested that we do not ship it without insurance. This tacked on another 50 euro and we decided to just carry it since the price to ship was too high.
