Last October, I spent my holidays in Barcelona. A beautiful trip : Indian summer, architectures, cool working people, transport efficiency (very far from the Parisian atmosphere...).
The philatelic office is not difficult to find since it is inside the central post office at the Antoni López square. It is at a major southern crossroad :
* passeig de Colom to the west, alongsite the port and going to the statue of Christopher Coloumbus ;
* passeig d'Isabel II coming east from the France railways station ;
* via Laietana going to the north through the old town center ;
* and, lokking south, the enter of La Barceloneta, residential aera and beach of Barcelona.
A flight of stairs conduct to the hall and directly inside the post office. In the hall, on the left, there is a discreet door : the entrance of the philatelic office. On tables, the flyers of the last two year's stamp issue are available.
Be careful, the spanish post (Correos) sells some stamp series as a whole.
Rate for a simple less than 20 grams letter to Europe is 0.58 €, 0.68 € worlwide. Since the interior rate is 0.30 €, you can use two stamps for a Europe letter without losing much money, in order to use all the stamps of a series.
Andorran stamps of the Spanish service are sold too. For French ones, you must ask the philatelic service of La Poste in France.
Have a nice journey in Barcelona.
