The barraca is a rudimentary rural house typical of the Valencian region. Although you can find very few of these barracas left nowadays, it has become one of the defining symbols of the Horta de Valencia.
Another house for the Houses in the Mail project!
I remember receiving this great stamp. Thanks for explaining more about the houses.
ReplyDeleteThe stamp is actually dedicated to a writer (Vicente Blasco Ibáñez) whose most famous novel is La Barraca. I agree the design is great, I love it. I think I have received it twice :)
