Cartero Real Rallies Communities in Castilla y León and Asturias as Epiphany Letter Collections Ramp Up

Valladolid hosts a Plaza Mayor post through January 5 offering on‑site photos under municipal and corporate backing.

Overview

  • In Villabrágima on December 27, the royal mail carrier toured house to house in a calesa with mounted pages and the new Association of Horsemen, a Town Hall‑backed visit that ended with sweets for children.
  • The El Norte de Castilla stand in Valladolid sits before the Conde Ansúrez statue and opens 12:00–14:00 and 18:00–21:00 daily, with mornings only on December 31 and January 5 and a closure on January 1, plus a €1 souvenir front‑page photo service.
  • In Gijón on December 26, the Príncipe Aliatar received letters at neighborhood venues such as El Llano and Somió, using parent forms to personalize each child’s reception.
  • Carbayedo in Avilés will stage its third annual neighborhood tour on January 2 from 18:00, starting and finishing at the Factoría Cultural, with letter drop‑off at a mailbox there after the parade.
  • Organizers including local media, municipal cultural bodies, neighborhood groups and volunteers report strong participation and continue adding tailored touches and partners to these seasonal visits.
