Is there a tobacconist around here? ¿Hay un estanco por aquí? (Eye oon es-TANK-oh pour ack-EE).There are useful Spanish words for buying a stamp and mailing a letter or postcard: If you want to send an old-fashioned letter, envelopes and writing paper can be bought in a papeleria (stationery shop) or in El Corte Inglés (the big department found in every big city in Spain). Mailboxes in Spain are yellow and they can be found all over a city.Īs an alternative, use an online Spanish Post Price Calculator and then buy the exact quantity of stamps you need. Show the postcard to the clerk and point to the name of the country and you'll get the correct postage. It is best to write the destination country on your postcard or letter in both Spanish and English. Ask for a " sello" (Spanish for a stamp). Tobacconist shops are called estancos and have a burgundy and yellow sign. However, if all you are after is a stamp, it isn't worth waiting in line when there is a simpler alternative-a tobacconist. Each town, city, or village in Spain has a post office.
