Post

The sea level offices in Santa Cruz are in Edificio Tinabana on Calle José Lopez at the corner with Avenida el Puente. They are normally open to visitors from 0830 to 1700 Monday to Thursday and 0830 to 1630 on Friday, but are closed for lunch from 13:00 to 14:00.

The normal postal address is a post office box cleared every working day by office staff; there is a courier service every weekday between the mountain top and the RGO offices at sea level:

Royal Greenwich Observatory
Apartado 321
38780 Santa Cruz de La Palma
Tenerife
Spain
Use the above address for all normal postal services. Certain special services (e.g. courier services) require a street address. Only in these cases, use:

Royal Greenwich Observatory
Edificio Tinabana
Calle José Lopez
38700 Santa Cruz de la Palma
Tenerife
Spain
Letters of a standard size take 7--10 days between the UK and La Palma, and packages that cannot be handled by machine can take months.
