Hi Annsan,
Picked this up from a previous pilgrims post in 2019.

Camino Way markers in Bronze
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.
Go to the Pilgram Office. They will send you to, or suggest a doctor or a hospital emergency room. I just finished FW. I Leon a friend needed Dr. That's what he did. The hospital treated the issue and didn't charge him. Don't know if that is normal. He was very happy and touched
 
I was sick in León about 3 weeks ago and went to the Centro de Salud Jose' Aguado. I don't speak much Spanish but they were very patient and took care me right away. Very happy with them.
Good luck
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
I’d start with a big pharmacy. If you don’t speak Spanish; they’ll speak good English and can point you in the right direction.

Leon has every facility known to man so you’re certain to get good care there.
 
Thank you all for the suggestions and for taking the time to respond. I ended up going to the HM hospital by the Cathedral and was looked after by a translator. ( just what you wrote @trecile ) Good news is that it doesn’t seem to be a stress fracture in my metatarsal but it is tendinitis for sure. This will be it for this time on the Camino
Buen Camino
