CF 23, Primitivo & San Salvador 24, CF oct/nov?
If I arrive in Leon at kl 21.11, the tourist office is closed. Is there an albergue I can go to to get a credential? Didn't have time to order one.
 
Fail to prepare? reduce your risk by buying this book full of practical info.
2nd ed.
Yes, Albergue del convento de las Carbajalas.

Thank you! This is why this group is valuable, immediate guidance :)
It's just a shame I can't stay there, my stupid fear of the top beds without railings. But will go there for the credential.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
An alternative, fairly centrally located could be the Albergue below, for Credentials see Note 8 and also have rooms without bunk beds.

Thank you very much, I have sent an email, they are sold out on booking.com. Scary beds, so can just do it if low bed available. Thanks! :-)

I have stayed here and it was very convenient and comfortable. I stayed three nights (without question) because I injured myself proving to myself that I could walk at the same place as a hyper fit young woman in her twenties who regularly ran ultra marathons.

There is a superb bakery five minutes walk from the albergue. See https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/making-lemonade-in-leon.81784/
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Four caminos in the last 10 years, a bit of vertigo and a great deal of grey hair - at an albergue I have always asked for a bottom bunk, and have always had my request respected. Be not afraid to ask.
