Mail Services
Within large cities, the Spanish mail system functions much like the American postal service. Deliveries are reliable and prompt within Sevilla. Outside metropolitan areas, things seem to slow down a bit. Regular mail is best sent through the central office, as letters deposited in a buzón (pictured here) may not be picked up for days.
Post Offices
The main post office is located across from the Cathedral on Avenida de la Constitución, 32. Business hours are M-F 8:30 am to 8:00 pm, and Saturdays 9:30 am to 2:30 pm. Each zona in Sevilla also has its own regional office where you can send and receive letters and packages. You can check out the official Spanish Post Office website for more information:

Letters and Postcards
Stamps and envelopes can be bought at any post office or state run tabaco, which are marked by their distinctive yellow sign. Letters up to 20 grams or a postcard can be sent for 0.26 € anywhere in Spain. To other parts of Europe, postage is about 0.50 €. To the US they charge about 1€.
International Services
Receiving packages:
Packages will be sent directly to your house. If you are not there, a notification will be left, aviso de llegada, so that you can claim your package at the post office. Be sure to bring your passport when you go to make the pick-up. You may have to pick up extra delivery fees too, so be warned.
Sending packages:
The main post office will send any mail you have, but you have fewer options than with other parcel delivery companies. An inexpensive option for those that are not in a hurry is to send paquete internacional económico. The mail will be sent by ship, but will not arrive for two to three months.
International Mail Carriers like Federal Express and UPS give you more options, but may be more expensive. They will make the pick up at your house and take it to its destination.
