Where are there any post boxes in the Playa Flamenca area. Hope someone out there can advise how one can post a letter without queueing for an hour in the post office. Thanks

If you are sending the item within Spain look for the yellow post boxes be aware post is not collected from these boxes daily. Try looking in the shopping area near Mercadona in Playa Flamenca for a post box.

If you are posting to the UK and can get to the post shop in Villamartin your post will not be in the Spanish postal system and will get to the UK quickly.

Hello

Absolutely! Ive not used these post boxes but got advice from 2 friends here who did.......One  found her cards were  delivered  6weeks after Xmas last year & the other, posted birthday cards that didn't get delivered at all!!

There is a shop at the PF commercial centre, called Good News. They send post to the U.K. pick-ups are Monday, Wednesday & Friday. Cost of letter post to the U.K. is 1.75€. Used for many years without any problems. The boxes at some Chinese shops are not Correos. A Correos postbox is at the supermarket in La Florida, but the Spanish postal system is not great.
