Oficina de Correos de Torre del Mar

The post office of Torre del Mar is on the Paseo de Larios, in the centre and a step from the beach. Its 2.7 over 130 reviews is a low average, and it is the average post offices collect everywhere: queues, opening hours and a delivery that did not arrive are what people write about.

The notice you will find in your letterbox

When a parcel or a certified letter cannot be delivered, a slip is left telling you to collect it here. That matters for two reasons on this coast. Anything official from the administration arrives this way, and if the flat is empty the slip sits in the box until somebody goes, while the deadline on the letter runs.

Take your passport or NIE, take the slip, and know that a collection can be made by somebody else with written authorisation and a copy of your identity document. If you own a property here and are away for months, arrange for a neighbour or your administrator to check the box. A returned certified letter from the tax office is a problem that grows while nobody is reading it.
