Wednesday, February 27, 2008 - New Correos in Arroyo

Last week they closed the Oficina de Correos (post office) in Calle del flores in Arroyo de la Miel and opened a new one without very clear directions on where to find it. I have now included it on the interactive map click here then click on the green tick to open the drop down menus - click on "Attractions and Landmarks" then click "Correos (new post office)" It is up the hill from the health centre. They have also introduced a fancy electronic "su turno" machine that lets you select which service you require and prints you a ticket, and there is a TV screen displaying the progress of the numbers and which counter to go to when it is your turn. It is certainly no quicker than the old system and if you want to collect a parcel and post a letter you will need a ticket for each and try not miss your turn. Isn't progress wonderful
