Answer 1

Hi Andre I did find "galerón" in RAE. but with the tilde. Check the link below.

In Mexico, I am told it is a large simply constructed room or space- it can be used for almost any purpose - shop-dormitory- for a concert or warehouse. Here anyway, we think of pavillion as a open sided roofed stucture. Maybe the usage is different there.

It is defiantly spelled "Galeron" without the "ó". Thanks. - 00551866, Apr 20, 2014

Answer 4

OK, I was working on a web site for Hogar Betel and Galeron is what I was finding on the web in Costa Rica and how they were telling me it is spelled. And Galerón for a music genre. But talking to a couple others galerón is the correct spelling. So it is not a CR thing.

Thanks for your input and assistance.
