Luggage storage in the airport
by thegirlwhoisme
I have been traveling elsewhere and I am passing through Madrid. I want to travel around Spain for 4 days, but I will have a lot of stuff with me. I would like to store 2 large suitcases (maybe even another medium sized one too, though I'll try to fit it all in!). Is there a place in the Madrid airport to do that, and if so, where is it? And most importantly, how much does it cost? Also, are there are any other, cheaper places to store the luggage in Madrid, such as the train or bus station? Those places would be less convenient, but I may be passing through them too, and I'm traveling on a budget.... Thanks.

The airport and train station in Spain store luggage for a maximum of 48 to 72 hours since the bomb attack in Madrid.
I have stored my luggage in Madrid center, close to Sol in the flat, for 3 weeks and it worked perfectly well.

Daniela- I am not doubting you but I did read that there is some CONSIGNA at Barajas. Its on this link. Do you think that it is still open? Maybe worth asking AENA directly or Iberia?

Your are right, there is a storage/locker area, but they are limited in time and won't allow more than 72 hours. At least that was what I found when looking to deposit my luggage for 3 weeks.

Daniela- On the Barajas web link they give the prices and more information. And they say that it appears you can store up to 15 days before the luggage is taken to the warehouse. Or at least I think that's what they mean. perhaps the only way to find out for sure is to ask the airport at the phone numbers they provide.? The security quaestion is of course relevent and if the Consigna does not have 'state of the art' scanning machines I cannot see how they can accept luggae. Just like when you store your bag on the aircraft.
