Can't you just sk your neighbours? Somebody must know where to get the keys from, and find out who and where your community president is.

Have you not used "Google translate"? Our Spanish is very limited and we are in a 95% Spanish inland town, very few English people dotted about but it has enabled us to open bank account with no English speaking agents in the bank, order 65 ton of gravel from a quarry, buy a car and do a car service, and then take for its itv(mot) where no English spoken, and many things where it has saved our bacon. You can speak into it and it translates both ways so you can both be understood. I, m sure there must be some other English people nearby as Torrevieja has many expats, just need to keep knocking and asking "habler inglés por favor"? 

Good luck. 

Regards 

Pauline

Yes really threw me ,now all I have to remember is my postbox number lol, and where it is ,as not always in a cage near the house. Anyway good luck , just remember bill electric, or water of the property and i.d and they will check and tell you the box number for that property.👍 Then you can collect more bills and junk mail.   lol, but also check that you hadn't been given the keys by lawyer 2 small keys on exchange
