Postage Stamps.

Where do i buy postage stamps to send letters to Spanish inland please. ?

Used to be the tabac shops

but maybe just go to the PO and hand the letter in..they will stamp it..

I go to local Correos they stamp and send, sent one to uk last week ,and one to inland spain the one to uk only took 2 days,the one to inland spain took 7days,

There is a shop near the gamma supermarket in Dona Pepa I think it's called the post box they do all sorts there - photo copying, scanning, internet cafe etc. You can also buy stamps and post your letter there

Do you not have a Correos in Los Montesinos ?

I think Correos only sells commemorative stamps. Certainly the one in Quesada up from Don De only takes the letters off you and franks them.
The stamp machine they had in the old post office was always empty.
You buy stamps in the estanco which is the tabacos/newsagents.

If you are posting to UK, several Brit post offices are around and the mail is collected from there daily and taken by air to UK where the postage is applied. It is cheaper to take them to Correos (about 10 to 15 cents) but they have loads of different rules on sizes and colours of envelopes. I think they don't take blue ones because the machine can't read the address (or could be red ones, I know we had one birthday card refused because of the colour of the envelope).

Correos in Quesada sell postage stamps over the counter. When I used to take letters in for posting to a Spanish address I would ask for a few spare ones depending on the size of letter. The problem with going to Correos is that it is the far end of Los Arcos (at the front) and there was normally a queue. I always go to the tobacco shop down the side road near the Don Carlos for my stamps now.
