Telephones

There are public telephones available most everywhere in Spain. They can be used to make calls anywhere in the world and offer instructions in several languages. These telephones function with 5, 25, and 100 peseta coins. There are also public telephones requiring credit cards. Also, in the most important cities, there are telephone offices open all day. To telephone outside Spain it is necessary to dial 07 and, after hearing the international tone, the country code, city code and the respective number.

Postal service

The Spanish Postal Service has over 6,000 offices all over the country, including small villages, railway stations, ports and airports. They provide a wide range of modern and efficient services.
The principal offices in Madrid, Barcelona and Bilbao, as well as those located in the international airports, are open 24 hours a day.
The services carried out by the Postal Service are of two fundamental types: those that are purely postal in nature such as those relating to different kinds of correspondence, and those that are known as postal banking services, dealing with money, such as postal and telegraphic money orders. In each office, there is a service called the Postal List where one can register to receive all types of correspondence, packages or money orders, which, in turn, can be forwarded to hotels or any other address.
The stamps required for mailing correspondence are sold at Post Offices and outlets known as "estancos" which are establishments authorised to sell tobacco, stamps and seals and which form an extensive network covering practically the entire country.
For information on the many varied services offered by the Spanish Post Office, call (91) 536-0110
