Giro Nacional postmark on Spanish stamps

Email | Print

Moving on with Spanish stamps… One of those things I’ve wondered are “Giro Nacional” postmarks found occasionally. Well, it turns up they are postmarks used to cancel mainly money orders and on some occasions telegraphs.

Below is a set of 1984 “Spanish folkfestivals” with “Giro Nacional” postmarks. Sadly the previous owner had written notes with blue ink pen on the back of both stamps

Spain 1984 - National festivals. Michel #2623-2624. Notice the Giro Nacional postmark.
