It has just come to my attention (after being in Portugal for a few weeks now) that I don't know what a post box looks like, other than the one outside the post office in Carvoeiro. I have only posted one letter and now I have another to post it just suddenly occurred to me that I haven't seen a post box. Are there any and can anyone tell me what they look like?

Thank you.

In Cvo there is one in Estrada do Farol opposite the end of the road leading to the market and Lanterna Velha restaurant. In Lagoa there is one painted blue (?) by the garden outsied the Classic 21 cafe. They are few and far between though!

there is one outside Intermaché near the flower shop and another outside the small shop at Poço Partido. Sad post box spotter's 1st darling

Have just seen the one outside the shop at Poco Partido, I think. I'm assuming its the shop opposite Restaurant Edra? Its a red box marked Correio. I actually thought that was their mail box. So that's a post box then?

Jake, please send me your postal address so I can send you a Post Box Spotters Club membership badge.

...and there's one at the end of our road too!
