How to Store Your Luggage in Las Palmas (Without Losing Your Mind)
Picture this: You land at Gran Canaria Airport at 8 AM, but your hotel check-in isn't until 3 PM. You're starving, desperate to see the old town, and dragging a suitcase the size of a small child. I've been there—twice. After my first trip, I spent 5 hours wandering the streets with my suitcase, only to find out about Storit (the city's best luggage storage) the next day. Now? I never travel to Las Palmas without booking it first. It’s the secret weapon for stress-free exploration.
Where to Store Luggage (Real Prices, Real Locations)
Forget airport lockers—they cost €12 for 24 hours and are miles from the action. For true convenience, head to the city center. My top pick:
- Storit (Calle de la Alameda, 20, Las Palmas) — €5 for 24 hours (medium suitcase, up to 20kg). Open 8 AM–8 PM, right next to the port and the old town. I’ve used it for 3 days on a recent trip and paid exactly €5. They have secure lockers, and the staff speaks English. Pro tip: Walk in, show your ID, and they’ll lock it for you in under 2 minutes.
- Not recommended: Train station storage (Cercanías) — €6 for 24 hours, but it’s a 15-minute bus ride from the beaches. Waste of time when Storit is steps away.
How to Weave This Into Your Trip (Without Overcomplicating)
If you’re booking a hotel, choose one in Santa Ana or Triana (like Hotel Riu Palace or Hostal La Cabaña), where you can walk to Storit in 5 minutes. I booked Hostal La Cabaña (€65/night for a double, including breakfast) last month, and Storit was 300m from my door. Perfect for dropping off luggage before heading to the beach.
For day trips, leave your bags at Storit, then rent a car for the coast. I used Europcar at the airport (€35/day for a compact car) to explore Maspalomas—no need to carry suitcases on the bus. Just grab your keys at the airport, drop luggage at Storit, and hit the road. Saves €10 in taxi fares too.
Insider Tip: Book Storit online for same-day slots. Their website (storit.es/gran-canaria) lets you reserve a locker for €5 upfront—no waiting. I did this for my July trip, skipped the 10-minute line, and got to wander Las Canteras Beach by 9 AM. Without it, I’d have been stuck at the airport until noon.
Your Action Plan for Stress-Free Travel
Here’s how to make it effortless:
- Before you fly: Reserve Storit’s locker online (takes 2 minutes, free to book).
- On arrival: Take the bus from the airport (€1.50, 20 mins) to the port, then walk 5 minutes to Storit.
- After storing: Head straight to Calle de Triana for tapas (try El Rinconcito for €10 tapas plates) or the Parque de la Alcaldía for sunset views.
- Before leaving: Pick up your luggage 2 hours before your flight (Storit opens at 8 AM). No more rushing at the airport!
With Storit, you’ll spend less time worrying and more time sipping sangria in Las Palmas’ old town. It’s the reason I’ve returned to Gran Canaria 12 times in 15 years. Trust me—your future self will thank you.
