The Post Office in Órgiva

Órgiva’s post office (oficina de correos) is open Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 2.30pm, Saturday 9.30pm to 1pm. It’s closed on Sundays.

It’s on Av de González Robles – near the BP garage, just around the corner from Las Alpujarras supermarket. It features on our maps.

Post doesn’t get delivered to our casita so we’ve set up a PO box (Apartado Postal). We can pick up letters, large parcels and things ordered over the internet.

A simple form was completed, copies of our passports taken and we were given a key. It only took 10 minutes.

The back wall of the post office is lined with small post boxes. If a parcel is delivered, there’s a slip waiting to say so and you collect it from behind the counter.

The cost is around €73 for a year which runs from January to December. We did gather (via our minimal Spanish) that it’s €40 for a quarter so if you set one up in, say, October you could go for this option, then start a new year from January.
