Is there a good spot to check some luggage in Porto?

I am starting from Porto in early April and will return to Porto for the next leg of my trip. Anyone know of a good secure spot to check luggage in Porto while I am on the trek? thanks!

Do you already have a hotel booked on Porto? Ask them if they provide luggage storage.

You can use the locker rental at the (gorgeous) train station but are limited to 7 days. Otherwise, you might consider paying the hotel you would be using on either end of your trip there in Porto.

I left a parcel with the post office in Porto. There are several offices, you can choose which one.

In 2018, I used a place called the Cloakroom for 2 weeks while walking. No problems.

Actually, I sent a parcel from Lisbon, to myself to a post office in Porto. Worked fine but that was before COVID so I do not know if that would work now.

Not Porto or even Portugal but it may help.

In Pamplona I went to the Post Office to leave some extra luggage and initially they refused to take it. I politely asked what was different from posting it to myself from a different Post Office and after a bit of discussion among the staff they graciously agreed to take it.

How long would a post office keep your parcel in Porto? We are walking out of Porto and return there at the end of our Camino. Would be a good solution for our two small suitcases with our non Camino clothes and stuff.

Thanks for all the great tips. The post office idea seems pretty effective!

Have you checked with your hotel yet? That's the most convenient - and cheapest.

Map of post offices in Porto. There are a lot! (The map can be used across the country, I think.)
