Postcard
The Canary Islands are a Spanish archipelago located
just off the coast of Morocco.
Gran Canaria is the third largest island in
the Canary Islands and the second largest by population with 850,000
inhabitants. The islands are a major tourist destination with over
12 million visitors per year.
Maspalomas is a tourist town in the south of the
island. If you look (very) closely you
see the Maspalomas Lighthouse, built between 1861 and 1890.
Stamp
A stamp dedicated to tourism (issue 2014). It shows a compilation of various facets relating to
tourism. In one way or another, the passion and beauty of the country are
reflected by red-roses, natural products by oranges, crafts by the typical
Spanish fan, and art by the carved tympana over church and cathedral doors.
