Spain has become one of the most popular destinations for UK nationals, both for holidaying and moving abroad. Right now, around 300,000 Britons are living in Spain, more than in any other EU country, with two-thirds of these expats aged over 50.
In 2024, Brits spent more in Spain than any other nationality, accounting for 16.3% of international tourism. Commercially, the total trade in goods and services between the two countries increased by 5.6% for a total of £64.6 billion!
With Spain and the UK’s close ties, it’s become incredibly cheap and easy to send a parcel to Spain. So, whether you’re transporting fishing rods for a trip to Majorca or posting out Christmas presents to your parents’ home in Bilbao, check off your shipping to Spain with ParcelBroker.

Before sending a parcel to Spain from UK, you should have a good understanding of Spanish postal restrictions. Spain’s own international post restrictions are fairly similar to the UK’s, and prevent using the postal system to send things like firearms, hoverboards and hazardous chemicals. You should also be aware of ParcelBroker’s prohibited items to ensure that you don’t send a parcel to Spain that contains materials prohibited by our shipping policy.

Yes, as the UK is not an EU member, shipping from UK to Spain requires senders to follow the relevant customs regulations: this might relate to any applicable customs duties or VAT payments, depending on the type and value of goods.
Spain’s many islands, such as Menorca, Majorca, Ibiza, Ceuta, Melilla, Tenerife and the Canary Islands must be shipped under specific services. You can use our quote calculator to find the best prices for shipping to Spain and other nearby islands. As the UK is no longer in the EU, customs procedures for areas like Gibraltar, the Canary Islands and Andorra, and mainland Spain will require the sender to make a customs declaration.
When you send a parcel to Spain, street addresses work slightly differently than in the UK. Most notably, the street name is written before the number. You’ll also often use abbreviations to indicate a specific floor or door: for example, “8o, 5a” for the 8th floor and 5th door. Here’s an example of a Spanish address:
Sr. D. Alvaro Blanco Ruiz - recipient name
Luna, 10 - 3o - Street, street number and floor number
28300 ARANJUEZ (MADRID) - Postcode and area reference
SPAIN
Postcodes in Spain indicate a general area with the first two digits. In this case, the “28” tells the handler that this parcel is destined for the Madrid area. The “300” then indicates where in the area it needs to go, in this case to the nearby town of Aranjuez.
