Madrid, July 8, 2026. – During the summer months, the more than 2,300 post offices throughout Spain offer a wide range of services and procedures that make daily life easier for citizens during their holidays, thanks to their extensive network and total territorial coverage.
At this time of year, traveling light and not carrying heavy suitcases is the best way to start your vacation. For this reason, Correos offers its Luggage Delivery service , provided through its subsidiary Correos Express, which allows you to send luggage weighing up to 25 kilos to more than 230 national destinations in less than 48 hours.
For the more adventurous, there's the Paq Bicicleta service , which allows bicycles to be delivered to any post office on the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic and Canary Islands. This option is especially appealing for those undertaking the Camino de Santiago , as Correos (the Spanish postal service) will send the bike from the nearest post office to the starting point of their adventure, or back home from the town where they finish. Correos also offers pilgrims the Paq Mochila service , a daily luggage transport between accommodations that allows them to travel the Camino more comfortably and without the burden of carrying heavy loads.
In addition, post offices also offer essential financial services that contribute to financial inclusion and are especially useful during the summer months. Among these, currency exchange stands out , a service in high demand at this time of year. Post offices offer the possibility of exchanging euros for more than 70 currencies easily and conveniently, as customers can receive the requested currency at their chosen post office or at any address they specify. Furthermore, customers of major banks participating in the Correos Cash service can make cash withdrawals and deposits at post offices .
Another option available to Correos customers is the Correos Prepaid Card , which allows for secure and easy shopping at any store during the holidays. This physical or virtual card can be used for basic financial transactions, such as paying at physical and online stores that accept Mastercard.
It also allows cash withdrawals at post offices and ATMs, both in Spain and abroad. Furthermore, you can obtain a Spanish IBAN to make and receive transfers or set up direct debits, without needing to open a bank account with a traditional financial institution. And because it's a prepaid system, it allows for complete control of expenses and helps you stay within your vacation budget, avoiding surprises and limiting fraud.
The Correos Prepaid card offers a wide range of features and can be purchased and topped up online through the website or the "Mi Correos Prepago" app , allowing you to start using it instantly. This is in addition to the option of purchasing and topping up the card in person at any of Correos' more than 2,300 post offices, where you'll receive personalized service. In this way, Correos Prepaid caters to the basic needs of both digitally savvy and traditionally minded customers.
Especially useful at this time of year is the Holiday Mailbox , a service that allows customers to have their mail delivered to their home stored at the post office while they are away. The Holiday Mailbox prevents loss and damage to mail received by businesses and individuals during vacation periods, thus guaranteeing its confidentiality and security. Furthermore, this service helps prevent the home from appearing unoccupied due to accumulated mail, while also preventing theft. This contributes to increased home security during vacations, providing greater peace of mind and convenience for residents.
The Luggage Storage Service is a highly useful solution for travelers who want to store their suitcases or packages in a safe and reliable place , such as post offices throughout Spain. These offices also offer the eCommerce Mailbox , a product linked to online shopping. This parcel storage service allows recipients to choose their preferred post office from the network of over 2,300 post offices as the delivery address, instead of their home address, to receive their eCommerce purchases, regardless of the logistics provider handling the distribution.
