¿Hablas español? All you need to know about sending mail to Spain
Spain was undergoing political problems for much of 2016, but it seems that something of a relief is in sight for the country. Despite the lack of a stable government until October 2016, the Spanish economy has still been growing strong at around 3% annually.
The formation of a government, although not an entirely strong one, balanced the economy and set the country in line with European deficit targets. While Spanish economic growth is expected to slow during 2017, Spain is still seen as a country worth doing business with, especially with a population of over 46 million.
While English isn’t officially classed as a main language, Spain’s location leaves it as an ideal trade route with much of the rest of the world, making it a great place to explore international mailing opportunities.
