Luggage storage in Santiago de Compostela

Lots of people arrive in Santiago de Compostela with a backpack after days on the Camino, or with hours to fill before a flight home, and need somewhere to put it down for a while.

The city's own storage picture is mixed: the airport's left-luggage office and the Estación Intermodal's counter exist but are limited or closed, while several museums offer lockers or cloakrooms for smaller bags. Santiago de Compostela sits in northwest Spain as the capital of Galicia. The city is famous as the endpoint of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage and holds UNESCO World Heritage status. A Correos branch on Rúa do Franco, 4, stores backpacks, suitcases, and bikes just a short walk from Praza do Obradoiro. From Praza do Obradoiro, most of the old town's main sights are reachable within a ten-minute walk. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag per day.

Luggage storage at the airport and intermodal station

Santiago-Rosalía de Castro Airport has an official left-luggage office at the security checkpoint on level 1, but the service is currently closed, so don't count on dropping a bag there before a flight.

The Estación Intermodal, where the airport bus terminates, has a left-luggage counter, though travellers should confirm details at the information desk before relying on it. The 6A airport bus is the fastest public transport link to the city centre, taking roughly 25 to 35 minutes for the direct shuttle to the Estación Intermodal. A one-way fare costs €1, paid in cash to the driver.

Luggage and bag rules at major sights

The Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea prohibits suitcases, bags, or backpacks larger than 30 x 30 cm, but provides individual lockers for smaller personal effects. The Museo das Peregrinacións e de Santiago requires large backpacks, bags, and suitcases to be deposited in its cloakroom. The Cathedral Museum prohibits bags, backpacks, umbrellas, and pilgrim's walking sticks, and provides no left-luggage service itself.

The Catedral de Santiago also prohibits backpacks inside the cathedral for security reasons, so plan to have already stored yours before heading to the entrance.

Getting around the city with luggage

Santiago's urban buses let you carry luggage, strollers, or other large items provided they don't block passenger transit, inconvenience others, soil the vehicle, or smell unpleasant. The city sits in the province of A Coruña, at the western edge of Galicia.
