Hi all , what is the easiest way to redirect mail from the UK to Spain once I move over ? Shall I just use the Royal Mail redirection service to our postal address in Spain . What services does the post shop do in the plaza . TIA

I would imagine the easiest solution is to ask Royal Mail to do this, no one in Spain is going to be able to arrange it. The alternative is to have the mail redirected to a trusted friend or relative in UK and ask them to forward it. The problem with this will be that if they collect several items and send them as one, due to the size of the envelope it may be held up in Madrid or you may be subject to handling charges etc, welcome to Brexit!

Far easier just to pay Royal Mail to do this.

Use Royal mail Redirect we do and have it forwarded to a post box service. Look on line for a suitable company

Dont rely on anything posted...use a proper delivery service like DHL if you need to post something special...I used the MailBox in town but goods do not usually get delivered to PO Boxes or Mail centres. Remember that after Brexit there are often taxes to pay on presents etc coming from UK most of my stuff was in Madrid customs storage for months, eventually opened up and returned to the UK

rely on e-mail now.
