"Estancos" also sell lottery tickets, mobile phone credit and post cards (+ tobacco & post stamps), and sometimes candy, magazines, sunglasses, etc. They are very similar to the photo of the Italian tabacchi shop.
A quick image search </> gives me: http://www.estancolacavademiguelangel.com/estancoma/spip.php?rubrique6 https://secure.flickr.com/photos/marcp_dmoz/3478899747/lightbox/ http://www.orihueladigital.es/orihuela/publi/estanco/monserratinas-280410-2.htm http://gibam.es/blog/proyecto-estanco-incluido-carlos-flor-estancos/ I think the shop you describe fits better the description of "estanco" than "quiosco".
