Ulalinda........ Welcome to the Forum, and don't worry about your English, it is very good and probably better than mine!

At the top of the Camino Frances page you will probably have seen the notes I wrote on starting from Leon. Every day in August, at least 150 pilgrims will leave Leon bound for Astorga, Sarria and Santiago, so you will not be alone. You will meet people in the albergues or in the café's and bars around the Cathedral. A lot of Poles walk the Camino and they are always great fun and they all speak very good English which helps people like me who regretfully don't speak Polish.

We are all here to help with any questions you have, so ask away! It is best not to put your email address on a forum because people read this forum who are not members and who might misuse your email address. I have edited the address from your message and if anyone needs to contact you they can send you a private message through the link at the top of the screen.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I second covey. You will not have any problems meeting and walking with other pilgrims from Leon, esp this year.

I also have met and talked with a lot of Poles on the Camino.

I have one suggestion for staying in Leon, and this is general for everyone. there is a youth hostel in Leon that is great to stay in. The main albergue in Leon is run by nuns and is closed and locked at 10pm - what a shame in this city. With the hostel you can stay out and eat and have a couple of drinks. i am sure it is listed on the albergure page - Camino Pilgrim Hostels - Camino Frances Albergues
