Any advice on where to buy a credential in León?

Many thanks in advance!
In Leon you can get a Credential here
ar the Carbajalas pilgrim albergue,
pl. Sta Maria del Camino, 3.
You need not stay there to get the Credential.

During easier times I stayed 10 times (!), in the Carbajalas pilgrim albergue and peeked at their Hospideria PAX facilities on the same plaza. PAX appeared to be very comfortable with private accommodation which you can reserve. PAX also has a proper dining room open to all.

Many thanks!!

Leon Cathedral or closest Tourists Information office!
A lot of Albergues have spare Credentials as well!
You could have got one before you left, from your own country’s confraternity of st James society!
 
Thank you, all! We picked up the credentials at Carbajalas pilgrim albergue this morning. : )

The trip came together a bit quickly, and I ran out of time to request one at home...
 
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.
San Francisco de Asis also have Credentials for 2 Euros each if the other sources have run out
