Oficina de Correos

This is my third winter here and I don’t recall ever seeing a post office, a mail box, or a letter carrier. How do people send and receive snail mail or parcels

The Oficina de Correos is near the main Coppel store tucked away on its own little street called Calle del Cartero. Decades ago it used to be at what was called the Palacio Federal, now the Museo Arqueológico de la Costa Grande. Since street addresses were mostly non-existent, if you didn't have an APDO address you'd have to wait for the gentle giant of a man named Javier to bring it to you or simply go and ask for your mail. Since everyone knew each other back then, it was common that folks would pick up mail for their neighbors.
