Gabriel de Castilla Antarctic Base, Spain
On Deception Island in the South Shetland Islands, sent in the fall of 2017, postmarked in Jan 2018 and received this month. I believe it also serves as a base for the Spanish Army and is managed in cooperation with the Spanish Polar Committee. The stamp was issued in January 2017 and depicts the base. It is a seasonal base operated in the austral summer, housing about 30 individuals.

BummerHi,
Do you have the address for this base?
Do you know if I can use multiple A or A2 stamps instead of a C stamp?
Thank You

And ask them to send your cover back from Base Juan Carlos I or Base Castilla.
I have no idea what rate codes will work for international mail from Spain. I just knew that the "C" stamp would work and I used it because it was a polar themed stamp.
