Morning Delivery

As we've walked through the neighborhoods in Galicia, I've noticed many houses have two little trap doors by their entrance.  Here is a typical example:

The purpose for the door on the left is obvious: it's for the morning bread delivery.  Fresh bread is a requirement for any Galician breakfast, so the bread truck comes by every morning - when you wake up in the morning, the fresh loaf is waiting and ready.

I had a trickier time with the other opening:  obviously one doesn't have a morning trumpet delivery, especially since it won't fit into the slot. Then I saw it:

a truck with the same logo. A mail delivery truck.  It seems you can get mail delivered through a slot in the door too, just like the bread. 

Fortunately, even if you don't have a bread slot, you can still get your morning bread delivery.
