Hi, I am wanting to get a PO Box address in Alhaurin and have been searching on internet on how to do this with no joy. I understand you can set up something to receive post at the local post office, however, I am actually wanting a PO address. Can anyone help?
From what I can make out you need to go to your local main post office and ask for "apartado". It doesn't appear to be something that you can do online (unless anyone knows better of course). For obvious reasons this appears to be something primarily targeting businesses but if you don't ask you don't get.
Good luck.

Hi
I don't know if Alhaurin el Grande is too far for you to travel but years ago we rented a mailbox with our own P O Box number from a shop just off the main roundabout in the centre of town. Not sure if it is still there but we found it really useful and it wasn't expensive.
Hope you find what you need.
Best wishes

Hi
That's very helpful. Alhaurin del Grande isn't too far that would be great. Can you remeber the name of the shop?
Thanks

If you are just looking for a mailbox that doesn't have to be via the post office you could go to Mailboxes Etc...they are also in the UK...their Spanish operation is at https://www.mbe.es/es
I hope that helps

Hi
I can't remember but looked up on Alhaurin el Grande map and there is a mail box place called Papeleria Martins which looks as if it is as the right spot. Hope that helps.

Hi, The British food shop, at the roundabout, near the bus station, has adverts in their window offering a P.O. Box service.
