Can I buy postage stamps in souvenir shops around Palma or the beach resorts?

The bustle of souvenir shops in the old town of Palma and along the popular beach promenades often includes a collection of typical keepsakes, from local pottery to ensaimadas. Many of these shops also stock postage stamps, catering to visitors eager to send postcards from Cala Mondrago or Es Trenc. These stamps frequently feature vibrant island motifs, such as the Tramuntana mountain range or traditional Mallorcan crafts, making them a charming memento to accompany your correspondence.

For those looking for a broader selection, heading to a local post office in towns like Sóller or Manacor is a wise choice. Post offices here provide the full range of stamps and can offer information on special editions celebrating events like Sant Sebastià or local heritage. They also sell postcards, so it’s easy to pick up everything needed to mail your holiday greetings. Keep in mind that business hours may be more limited than those of souvenir shops, especially outside Palma, so it’s best to plan accordingly and enjoy the leisurely pace and character of the island’s smaller villages while you’re at it.
