This one is a blast from the past, as I blogged it in the beforetimes (2019).
It's an impressivve stamp for an impressive bird - a vulture. In Spanish it is quebrantahuesos - bonebreaker!
Thanks to Eva for sending it on this great Halloween/fall related envelope.

The peseta was the currency of Spain from 1868 to 2002 when it was replaced by the euro. It had been replaced by the euro on currency exchange boards since 1999. Pesetas could be exchanged for euros until 2021. Pesetas worthh an estimated 1.7 billion euros were not exchanged.
Eva sent me two stamps featuring pesetas - a large stamp with a 1 peseta note, and a round stamp with a 1 peseta coin.

This stamp issued in 2021 celebrates Selected Works of the 5th International Exhibition of Mail Art, Avilés: The Earth.

Turismo de negocios translates to business tourism, which accounts for over 6 billion euros in Spain each year - people who travel to Spain for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibition spend more per person than tourists on vacation. Spain ranked 3rd in the world for business travel in 2025. Correos issued the stamp in 2024.
The stamp arrived on a matching envelope sent by Eva.
