Postal code (Spain)
A postcode in Spain has five digits. The first two digits stand for the province . Originally the provinces were numbered alphabetically. This order is no longer consistently adhered to due to renaming or adaptations of the official spelling of the province names to the regional languages. The numbers 51 and 52 for the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla were added later. Previously, Ceuta with the postcodes 11701 to 11705 was postally assigned to the province of Cádiz, Melilla with the postcodes 29801 to 29806 to the province of Málaga.
The provinces / postal code areas
Within the provinces, the postcodes are usually assigned according to a hierarchical system, so that places with the same initial digits of the postcode are usually located in a closed area. In principle, all postcodes with the number 0 in third place are assigned to the provincial capitals. The largest cities within the province have mostly received the postcodes ending with 00, although there are also deviations in agglomerations. If there are several delivery areas in a city, these were numbered consecutively.
The postal code 36203 stands, for example, for the province of Pontevedra (36), including the city of Vigo (200) and the 3rd delivery district within the city.
