@Bopper , I found this shop in October 2017

From the south west corner of the Cathedral walk west down Calle Ancha

After about 200 m look for Calle de la Rua on the left.

About 100 m down the shop is on your right.

I found the manager very helpful

If the poles don't come with those rubber feet attachments, and you have a few euros to spare, I would highly recommend getting them!
They fit over the pole's metal tips and provide a lot of traction when you are on the road!

There is a tourist info centre in front of the Cathedral. You may find the advice from Alwyn better - https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/where-to-buy-poles-in-leon.55893/post-626968
