Hey guys! My partner and I are planning our first holiday together, and my first holiday in 20 years! We are staying in a hostel very close to Puerta del Sol, and we'll be there from a Sunday to Thursday next month.

I'm doing research on what to do while we are there, and I'm a bit overwhelmed by the choice!

Here are some things we love:

- vegan food (there seems to be a lot of good choices in the area we are staying but if anyone knows any hidden gems let me know!)

- markets

- art/craft activities

- historic buildings

- museums

- nature and wildlife

- active activities

I'd really appreciate some recommendations!

Thanks :)

Hey guys. I sent a parcel to my partner yesterday for special delivery guaranteed before 1pm. She has moved around her whole day to be sitting waiting at the door from 9am this morning. She is due to leave on holiday this evening and it is imperative she receives this parcel before she leaves as it contains important documents.

We've been anxiously keeping an eye on tracking. 1pm passed. At 1.30pm it updated with the message that the address was inaccessible and it can not be delivered today. The address is perfectly accessible, she's been sitting with the front door open all day and there are no road closures in the area.

I am currently on hold with Royal Mail to find out what is happening. Will the package be brought to a sorting office or something today that it can be picked up from? She may not be able to leave for her flight tonight without receiving this package so we are in real panic mode right now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: thank you everyone for the replies! I eventually got ahold of customer service and they were fantastic, managed to get ahold of the postman and delivery has just been successful.

Hey guys. Looking for an answer ASAP if possible.

I sent a package to my partner in England today for special delivery. I've just found out she won't be in to sign for it. On the app I have the option to redirect to her local post office (2 minutes up the road).

It is really important she gets it tomorrow as she is going on holiday tomorrow night. Will redirecting to her local post office cause a delay?

Thank you.
