The one before was the last at the Basilica at 8:34. The door was at 8:50. the next photo was the Convento de San Marcos at 8:58 (Next to the Parador). I'll try the museum, thanks for that info.Can you identify your shots before and after this handsome door ?
In Leon the Casa Botines, the warehouse/factory designed by Gaudi c.1892 is now a museum. Included in its encyclopedic interests is the architectural history of Leon. You might email the library this photo and ask the address.
Good luck in your research.
I don't know my exact route from the Basilica to the convento. I probably followed yellow arrows, but they're hard to see on Streetview. And perhaps I didn't. There are just too many streets to try, I feel. I asked the tourist office years ago and I didn't get a reply, it might be worth trying again. I haven't had a reply from the museo yet. I'm 99% sure about the roundabout, but there's that 1% of doubt. I've streetviewed all the roundabouts between the Basilica and the Convento, and even some not on a direct route.I have seen that door, I am SURE of it. I was in León in September and stayed in a hotel in the Plaza Santo Domingo for a few days and spent a lot of time walking around. Have you taken all the streets in the vicinity and then plugged in number 20 of that street to see if it pops up? I did it for a few but no luck, but a more methodical approach might yield results. It is quite the monumental door!
You could also try emailing the tourist office. Their email address is oficinadeturismodeleon@jcyl.es
Honestly, I don't know. I usually enter search terms into Google that look promising to me and then I look at the search results and take it from there to create further search terms. I would not have found anything if it had not been for @OTH86's post.How did you track down that text?
That's definitely it! thank you so much! Can you explain, in simple terms, how you found it? How long did it take you?@Bert45,
Is this it? Can't see a number 20, but the detail certainly looks like it.

Bert45,That's definitely it! thank you so much! Can you explain, in simple terms, how you found it? How long did it take you?
Now I'm really baffled! Is that a simple typing error or something else? Several minutes of streetviewing along Gran Via de San Marcos and Calle Lope de Vega failed to find the door or scenes as in you screenshot. However, just on the off-chance I searched for GVdSM 20, and Google Maps took me a short way up Calle ROA DE LA VEGA. Is this (Vega) a coincidence I asked myself, and how can the marker for GVdSM be on Calle RdlV? Never mind, let's have a look at that corner, and there it is, MY DOOR! So how did mspath manage to find it but not find it? He (She?) said it was between Plaza de Santo Domingo and Plaza de la Inmaculada, and marked the corner on the map, but it's not there. Has the door been moved?
Still, All's Well that Ends Well!
So my 1% of doubt was right! [It's not on a roundabout.]
