About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Oficina de Correos, a regular once complained, ‘Why do I always get letters from the future?’ The clerk just shrugged and smiled, never explaining. Then one day, an excited delivery driver arrived with a package addressed simply to ‘Future Citizen’. Everyone burst out laughing when they opened it—inside was a vintage letter opener from the 1980s.

2. At Oficina de Correos, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one morning. As he approached the mailboxes, he swore he heard a faint humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old postal worker whistling a cheerful tune while sorting letters with remarkable speed. As he watched in amazement, the old man suddenly stopped whistling and started humming ‘Happy Birthday’—only it was the wrong birthday song for every letter he picked up! Turns out, he’d been singing the same tune since his retirement party years ago. The delivery driver left laughing so hard that he almost forgot why he came in the first place.

3. At Oficina de Correos, a delivery driver noticed an old envelope sticking out from under the counter one afternoon. He picked it up curiously and found no return address—only a cryptic note scribbled in pencil: 'Open only when you’re alone.' The delivery driver shrugged, opened the envelope, and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper with a simple message: ‘Hey, could you please deliver this letter to yourself tomorrow?’ A regular chuckled as he read aloud, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Another day, another mystery from Oficina de Correos.’

4. At Oficina de Correos, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath, ‘This is the third time today someone’s mail has been delivered upside down.’ Finally, an old lady appeared from behind the counter and said with a twinkle in her eye, ‘It seems our new intern thinks “upside down” means “inside out.”’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, as he drove away, muttering, ‘Next time I’ll just leave it right-side up.’
