I was thinking about going to the Modern Art museum before leaving Madrid. I seem to remember that it is close to the Atocha station. I was also thinking that there was luggage storage at Atocha. Has anyone used that? Is it easy to use? Expensive? I was just trying to figure out if it made sense to store the luggage, go to the museum, and then go on to Seville. Thanks for your help!

Have not used it, but think I remember seeing a holding area...check out the Atocha web site....it is fairly extensive. You might check www.madridman.com as well...good information source.

Thanks for the hint on the madridman site! In case others are curious, this is what I found on the message board there: Atocha (Train station) Behind Aviary Metro: Atocha Renfe These are automated lockers of 3 different sizes where you insert your bags, pay for the first day and get a coded ticket which you will use to open the locker and get your things once you have entered the code and paid for them. They are watched over by a security guard with a security scanner for added protection. - Small is 2,40 euros a day (volume less than 0.15m) - Single space is 3,00 euros a day (volume 0.15m to 0.25m) - Double space is 4,50 euros a day
(volume 0.25m to 0.40m) 15 day maximum then transferred to warehouse. One year maximum at warehouse then considered forgotten / rejected. Monday-Sunday: 6:30AM-10:20PM Tel. 902-240-202 www.renfe.es
