Daft question. But is there anywhere else to buy stamps other than the post office, and where on Earth are the post boxes around this area? 🤔🤔

Hi Maggie

The tabac next to the castle sells stamps and there's a postbox just down the road from it on the road leading down to town Hall... Used them last week 🙂

Thanks CarolC

I was hoping for somewhere else as I hate Cuevas town and was trying to avoid it xxx

usually the stamps sold in the shops are just for postcards. the post office always weigh the letters and affix a sticky label not a stamp, also you are guaranteed that it will go from a post office but not that it will be collected from a post box on the day. for UK post you are able to use the UK mail system if you go to Forgetmenot in Bouganvillas in Garrucha or Total Entertainment in Albox and Arboleas.
