Spanish Study Circle
Welcome to the Spanish Study Circle
Whether you are a complete novice or an expert collector of Spanish Philately we hope to cater for everyone - if we don't know perhaps you could fill in the gaps! We are based in the UK but have a worldwide membership.
The Spanish Study Circle was founded in 1956 in London to promote the study of the stamps and postal history of Spain and its former colonies. In 2003 the Study Circle was elected to membership of the Spanish Academy of Philately.
And now for something a little different…..
Subject: A holiday postcard sent from a cruise going through Spanish waters on route to Deveonport.
Nothing unusual so far, until you notice the combination of stamps used to make up the postal rate! Interestingly this is the second example I’ve found, the other has 24 blocks , fixed to both sides of the envelope! Interestingly both are franked in the port of Villa Garcia! Is it British quirkiness or a badly stocked Spanish post office??? Anyone seen anything else similar?
