Bike boxes in Santiago

We are planning to cycle from Seville to Santiago in June and when we arrive in Santiago we need to obtain 2 bike boxes (ex bike shop normally protects bikes fine on planes). Does anyone know of a suitable source for these boxes (we only have a Saturday to collect them). Alternatively we wondered if anyone knew a sympathetic hotelier who would arrange them for us to collect when we arrived at their hotel. We fly Ryanair so need to protect them well! We also need a hotelier who speaks English! Thanks Anne

€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
I have just come back from Santiago, and I also used Velocipedo, Rua de San Pedro. They did a first class job on packing my bike. They took the bike including empty paniers, handle bar bag, cycling shoes and helmet etc. It was wrapped up in rubber, peddles off and handle bar turned and put into an old cycle box, 19 euros. They then gave it to a Taxi firm who picked me up from my hotel the next morning in time for the Ryanair flight.
There is an internet cafe at Rua da Senra near the park. Here you can book your return flights and print off your online check in.
I stayed at Hotel Entrecercas, Rua Entrecercas near the southern end of Rua do Franco. English bit iffy but better than my Spanish. Good Luck.
 
Just back from riding il Primitivo and I also used "Bicicletas Velocípedo" and they did a great job with the packing. I gave them the bike and a taxi picked me up the next day. They also speak English
