Madrid luggage question

[Bumpa]

I am looking at flying in to Madrid next April/May and travelling on to start my Camino walk. I would likely be met by my wife at the end of the Camino and we will spend some further time in Europe. The question is: has anyone left luggage at the Madrid airport for the duration of their Camino? If so how easy were the logistics and was it prohibitively expensive. It might be nice to have some "tourist" clothes that I haven't walked in for 30 days or so

Hi, Bumpa,
I think your best bet would be to send a box of clothes up to Ivar in Santiago and get them when you're done walking. Or send them up to your hotel/albergue if they will allow that.

There are consignas (luggage storage) in Barajas, and here's an idea of the prices: http://www.aeropuertomadrid-barajas.com/consignas-aeropuerto.htm
Since you'll be there more than two weeks, the price is 30 euros a week. (This particular link is for T4, but I can't imagine that the prices are different for different terminals).

Buen camino, Laurie

Thanks Laurie. The prices are basically what I found on the internet but it is the additional information one gets that makes this site so valuable. What does Ivar charge for a single bag? I imagine Ivar will read this and reply Thanks again for your prompt assistance.

MUCH better deal than the airport.

We sent ours to Ivar also - very easy, less expensive than the airport - AND - you can pick up your stuff when you arrive in Santiago rather than having to go back to Madrid to get it.

Thank you Peregrina2000 and November_moon for the comments. I will get in touch with Ivar directly
