The Spanish Post Office (correos) postal charges have long been a mystery to overseas visitors and foreign residents alike. Our Christmas cards last year cost an unexpected fortune, this year some advance homework has decoded the system, which unusually involves the size of the card as well as the weight. Weight limit 20 grams Maximum size 235 mm x 120 mm (91/4 x 43/4 inches) Postage to Europe including the UK .53 cents Postage outside Europe .78 cents If the envelope is larger than this it will cost Postage to Europe including the UK 1.05 euros, Postage outside Europe 1.38 euros but it must still not weigh more than 20 grams Heavier cards are charged more again, but the code for these is still a secret. You now know to shop for your cards more carefully than usual, but be careful because there is also a minimum size of 140 mm x 90 mm (51/2 x 3/12 inches)
