I think you may have to get a post box, available at post offices and elsewhere.

Spanish post doesn't deliver outside of towns.

I had to pay 50 euros for a year. I don't know about shorter periods. Letters go in the box till you collect them or your rental period is up.

I also think you may have to get a post box. Take a look at the web of Correos (postal company) to get more info.

Poste restante is available in Spain and is widely used, a great service. It is called Lista de Correos. In larger post offices, they will have a separate area for it. They will keep mail for a month. I have used it to even send luggage and large boxes to myself.

Not true, I get post from all over the world delivered to my door.
More information on this subject:
This is the information in English for some reason they do not use the correct Spanish term of Lista de Correos
http://www.correos.es/ENG/01P-EnviarDoc/01-CPostales/03-CPostalExpress/01P0103a-PlazosEntrega.asp
as they do in Spanish:

item 6 in the list
