We'll be in Barcelona for a couple of days before going on to Madrid. Our flight from Barcelona to Madrid isn't until 6pm.
Are there lockers in train stations or anywhere near the major sightseeing areas where we could store our luggage while we're sightseeing?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Your old pal,
Joe

Hi Joe!

This summer I flew into Barcelona very early in the morning and had to wait till evening to pick up relatives at the train station before hopping on a long distance bus even later. I ended up having a wonderful day. There is an excellent train connection between the airport and the Sants train station. I left all my luggage in a large locker at the train station and then roamed the city, using the tourist bus as my main mode of transportation. (It stops at the main door of the station - couldn't be more convenient.) I got off at spots I hadn't visited yet, and had lunch along the way. Then I returned to the train station, picked up my luggage, and was off again - this time by taxi to the bus terminal (which, if I remember correctly, also has lockers). It was all very easy, but I did have to ask a few times where the train connections were - the signs are not very helpful. Be sure to give yourself enough travel time! There's a bit of a walk between the airport's train station and the terminal. Be sure to have luggage with wheels.

Diana,

Muchas gracias for your reply! That's exactly what I had hoped for. I didn't know if in a post 9/11 and 3/11 world if they'd still have lockers in train stations.
