Spain: Barcelona

On Monday I got a postcard from Spain.

It shows various views of Barcelona. Barcelona is the capital and largest city of Catalonia. It is also the second largest city of Spain, the second largest city of the European Union which is not the capital of its country and the largest metropolis on the Mediterranean Sea. Furthermore it is a popular tourist destination and was the fifth most visited European city in 2011. In 1992 the city hosted the Summer Olympics.


Stamps:
State Industrial Engineer Corps (issued 23-03-2016)
Diario de Avisos (issued 05-02-2016)
King Felipe VI (two from set of five) (issued 19-01-2015)
with a great special postmark showing the Casa Milà


Thank You very much William!
