    Trains from Madrid

    Luggage storage

    My limited experience is that Madrid hotels will only allow you to store luggage for about two weeks and only if you are staying in that hotel at the beginning and end of the two week period . I believe I saw a post this past year about long term storage available in Madrid but I don’t remember...

    Train from Madrid to Sarria

    I looked on Rome2rio and it is showing $40-$50 for the taxi. I figure that there is a pretty good chance that there will be someone else on the bus from Madrid interested in sharing a taxi to Sarria. My plan is to take the taxi to Sarria, and if some reason the bus from Madrid arrives early...
