Luggage Storage in Andalucía: A Guide to Stations, Lockers, and Apps

Reliable luggage storage allows you to explore Andalucían cities without the burden of heavy bags during early arrivals or late departures.

Finding a place to store your bags in Andalucía is straightforward if you know where to look. While many major train stations have removed their internal lockers for security reasons, private locker shops and app-based storage networks have expanded significantly. You can expect to pay between €4 and €10 per day depending on the size of your bag and the city you are visiting.

The Current State of Station Storage

Historically, Renfe/ADIF train stations provided left-luggage offices (consignas). However, security protocols have led to the closure of these facilities in many locations. Currently, Málaga María Zambrano is one of the few major stations in Andalucía that still maintains an internal luggage storage area (check the ADIF website for facility details). In Sevilla, Córdoba, and Granada, you will usually need to use private facilities located immediately outside the station perimeter.

Luggage Storage Apps and Networks

If a station does not have lockers, the most reliable method is to use a storage app. These services partner with local hotels, cafes, and shops to provide secure storage space.

• Bounce: Has the largest coverage in Andalucía. Prices start around €5 per bag per 24 hours.
• Stasher: Partners with reputable hotel chains and local shops. Flat fee usually includes insurance.
• Nannybag: Fixed price of €6 per bag for 24 hours (check the operator's website before travelling for any 2026 changes). No weight or size limits in most locations.
• Radical Storage: Large presence in Sevilla and Málaga. Charges roughly €5 per bag per day.

Note: Most of these services require an online booking in advance. You cannot usually walk into a partner shop and pay cash.

City-by-City Guide

Sevilla

Sevilla has several options, but none are inside the Santa Justa train station.

• Santa Justa Train Station: No lockers inside (verify latest station details on the ADIF website). The Locker and City Lockers are located 200 metres from the main entrance on Calle Mallén.
• Plaza de Armas Bus Station: Lockers are available inside the station. Prices are approximately €4 for a small locker and €6 for a large one.
• City Centre: Locker in the City operates several 24-hour automated locker sites near the Cathedral and Setas de Sevilla.

Málaga

Málaga offers the best infrastructure for luggage storage in the region.

• Málaga María Zambrano Station: Internal lockers are available near the platforms. Check current rates at the station; as of 2026, expect to pay between €4 and €8 depending on size. Open 07:00 to 23:00.
• Málaga Airport (AGP): Storage is located on Floor 0 of the terminal building, specifically in the Arrivals area (connecting T2 and T3). Rates historically start at €6 per day for a standard suitcase (check the official AENA website for 2026 prices before travelling).
• Málaga Bus Station: Located right next to the train station, it has its own set of lockers for roughly €4 per day.
• Calle Casas de Campos: Several private locker shops operate in the Soho district, convenient for those staying in the centre.

Granada

Granada’s storage options are split between the bus station and the city centre.

• Train Station: There are no luggage lockers inside Granada train station. You must use private shops nearby or apps like Bounce.
• Bus Station: Located about 3km from the centre, the bus station has lockers available for roughly €4.50 per day.
• City Centre: Use City Locker Granada on Calle de la Moras or various Bounce locations near the Plaza Nueva.

Córdoba

Córdoba is a popular day-trip destination, making storage essential.

• Train Station: No lockers inside the ADIF station.
• Bus Station: Directly across the street from the train station. It has a large bank of lockers. A medium locker costs approximately €5 per 24 hours.
• Jewish Quarter: Several small souvenir shops offer informal bag storage, but using a verified app like Nannybag is recommended for insurance purposes.

Airport Storage Details

Only major airports in Andalucía offer dedicated luggage storage. Small regional airports like Jerez or Almería do not have these facilities.

Airport	Location	Approx. Price
Málaga (AGP)	Floor 0 (Arrivals)	€6 to €10 per day (check online before travelling)
Sevilla (SVQ)	None	N/A

Pro tip: If you are flying out of Sevilla, you should store your bags at the Plaza de Armas or Santa Justa areas before heading to the airport.

The Free Option: Hotels and Hostels

Before paying for lockers, remember the option most travellers already have. Almost every hotel, hostel and guesthouse in Andalucía will hold your bags for free on the day you check in and the day you check out: before your room is ready in the morning, or after the midday checkout while you squeeze in a final afternoon of sightseeing. Just ask at reception; a euro or two for the porter is a nice touch in smarter hotels but never required.

Many Airbnb and apartment hosts cannot offer this, which is exactly the gap the locker networks fill. If your flight lands at 10am and your apartment check-in is 3pm, plan the storage stop in advance rather than dragging cases across cobbles in the heat.

What It Costs

Prices are refreshingly consistent across the region:

• App-based networks (Bounce, LuggageHero, Stasher): roughly €5 per bag per day, booked and paid in the app. Insurance up to a few thousand euros is normally included.
• Station lockers: €3–6 per 24 hours depending on locker size, paid at a machine by card or coins.
• Independent consignas near major monuments: €5–10 per day for larger cases, cash sometimes preferred.

For a family with four bags spending one day between check-outs, expect to pay around €20, usually money well spent compared with hauling luggage through a city centre where taxis cannot reach your door.

Day-Trip Strategies That Avoid Storage Entirely

The best luggage plan is often not needing storage at all.

• The Córdoba stopover: Travelling Sevilla–Madrid or Málaga–Sevilla by train, Córdoba makes a superb half-day stop, and the station lockers mean you can walk to the Mezquita unencumbered and continue on an evening train. See our Córdoba guide for a half-day route.
• Base-and-spoke: Rather than moving hotels every night, base yourself in Sevilla, Málaga or Granada and do the surrounding cities as day trips. Your luggage never leaves the wardrobe.
• Left luggage on arrival days: Landing early at Málaga airport with a late check-in down the coast? It is often easier to store bags in Málaga city, spend the day there, and travel to your resort in the evening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to leave my bags in these lockers?

Automated locker shops use CCTV and unique pin codes. App-based services (Bounce/Stasher) include insurance (often up to €1,000 or more) in the booking price. Always ensure you receive a physical or digital tag for your bag when dropping it off at a shop or hotel.

Can I store oversized items like bicycles or surfboards?

Standard lockers will not fit these. You should use app-based services and specifically look for "Hotel" partners, as they often have dedicated luggage rooms that can accommodate larger items. Málaga Airport's storage facility also accepts special equipment for an additional fee.

Do I need to pay in cash?

The vast majority of automated locker shops in city centres are now strictly cashless. Ensure you have a mobile payment method or physical card. Apps require payment via their platform. Bus station lockers often still require coins, though newer machines are being phased in that accept contactless payments.

Are these services open 24/7?

Automated locker storefronts (like Locker in the City) are typically open 24/7. Storage inside bus or train stations is limited by the station's operating hours, usually closing between 23:00 and 06:00. Check the specific closing time to avoid being unable to retrieve your bags before a late flight or train.

Summary

• Avoid the search: Most train stations (except Málaga) do not have lockers; use the bus station or a private locker shop nearby.
• Book ahead: Use apps like Bounce or Nannybag for the best prices and guaranteed space in city centres.
• Budget: Expect to pay €5 to €7 per day for a standard suitcase.
• Check hours: Ensure your chosen location is open late enough for your departure.
