[Dx-qsl] Mail to Ceuta & Melilla?

Fri Oct 23 13:58:01 EDT 2009

The USPS requires that the destination Country's name be in large block letters below the city on all envelopes that are going to non-US addresses. In this case SPAIN must still appear on the envelope.

 No, that's like writing "via USA" for mail to Alaska and Hawaii.
Write the person's name and street address or PO Box (AP in Spain, Apartado Postal), then E-##### where ##### is the postal code, followed by the city, then SPAIN as the final line, no "via". The "E" is obviously España for EU postal routing.
For example, my buddy EA9IE would be:
Juan José Rosales
AP 410
E-51080 Ceuta
SPAIN
Many of the online callbooks throw in a dxcc country name which doesn't go in a postal address. Writing "Ceuta & Melilla" would confuse the post office (goes to which of the two cities?) but the zip code would ensure proper final routing.

When QSLing someone in Ceuta & Melilla, is it advisable to write "via Spain" on 
the envelope?
Appreciate any help...
