Time of past OR future Camino
June/July 2015 (CF, 100 miles), June/July 2018 (CP, ~40 miles, too hot!)
I´m finally here! I start tomorrow morning. I´m at the Hotel Riosol in Av. de Palencia, 3, which is right by the river. I´m wondering if I just go away from the city and up the road. I haven´t yet seen any shells in the road, but I´ve noticed a few arrows here and there. The way really doesn´t seem to be well marked here. Any and all help would be most appreciated.

Walk up the street parallel to the river, and at the bridge coming from the Parador Hotel, you should be able to pick up the yellow arrows (left turn at that bridge toward La Virgen del Camino and the airport).

 
Hi, I was there about 6 weeks ago and there are lots of arrows in Leon. I don't think it will be a problem to get out of Leon. I know you have to walk along the cathedral and follow the arrows, no problem.

Ask your hospitalero to point you in the right direction, or just follow the other peregrinos. As I recall, there were lots of arrows in León. You'll be fine. Have fun!
Buen Camino.
 
Just walk along the river-walk, then make a left over the bridge by the parador. You will pick up arrows at the bridge, and Voila!
 
We started in Leon and stayed at the Parador - which as others have said, you will walk right past. We came out of the hotel in the morning and joined the loose flow of pilgrims leaving the city.

Just head north, parallel to the river. You will hit the Camino. then turn left, or west.
cheers

I loved the walk out. There are plenty of coffee opportunities, and La Virgen del Camino has a great modern church, and it used to have a gypsy compound behind the monastery.

She left six minutes after posting the request, and has not been back, so, yes, reading the requested advice will help her find her way out of Leon. She may have internet again when she gets there.

Dear Lord, tomorrow, lovely León
With others, I must leave
That section is so boring
No doubt, I am going to heave

Oh Lord, shall I walk it?
Or should I wheeled transport employ?
No, I will suffer, dear Lord, I will suffer
And stops for vino tinto enjoy.
