| MAIN POST OFFICE BARCELONA If you ask me, the Spanish really know how to build post offices.... |
 |
| CORREOS = POST |
 |
| Don't you just want to mail something? |
 |
| You walk in the door and see this! Nothing like any USA post office I've ever seen... |
 |
| Built in 1929 but looks to me it is much older.. |
 |
| And they had postal products! |
 |
| The very friendly postal INFORMATION lady helped me buy these little postal beauties...PO Box key chains and a PO Box Bank. Why doesn't the USPS get with it and have things like that for sale? |
 |
| And I somehow managed to buy these beautiful stamps all by myself... The clerk was quite amused by my wild enthusiasm over these food stamps. I was all ready to buy some other stamps for my postcards when I spied these and of course I had to switch. He was really nice about putting back the first stamps and I picked and getting these out...... |
 |
| They still use bikes to deliver mail....(but this one is an oldie). |
 |
| Most people don't pose for photos with PO boxes but I do! |
 |
| LOTS of those yellow CORREOS trucks outside too..... |
 |
| ......in multiple sizes.... |
 |
| There go the postal ladies...I stalk letter carriers all over the world.... |
 |
| Love those yellow PO Boxes and yes, I did feed a couple of them. And, I mailed postcards to myself from Barcelona, Madrid and Fes and I got them all. I found Post Offices in Sevilla and Madrid too but couldn't find one in the medina in Fes. Hope you enjoy the visit and if you get to Madrid, check out this beauty for yourself. I'm working on making things and wrapping things and a trip to MY PO is coming up soon to mail off some surprises to friends... And, what are YOU guys all up to? Has the crazy holiday season started in for you? I'm trying to keep it all very calm.... SEND GOOD MAIL ---- GET GOOD MAIL |
