EUROPA stamps are special stamps issued by European postal administrations/enterprises. Each year, PostEurop's Stamps & Philately Working Group selects the EUROPA stamp theme. This year the theme is Ancient Postal Routes.
The Spanish stamp is very colorful. I would have liked to see more of the maps. My favorite part of the Cyprus stamp is the face blowing wind out of the top left.I like the Polish one a lot, the details of people and horses delivering post along the routes is great.
In the end the Bosnia-Herzegovina stamp showing Roman postal delivery and coin is the one I voted for.
The Correos stamp I think the most original way the theme has been worked out! And I love the combination if colours - they will match with a similar coloured envelope (this is no hint, is it?) :-)

It is quite difficult to choose only one!
DeleteThe sheet of the Spanish stamp features also a postal carrier on bike...
Thanks for the link, that's a really nice image of the carrier.
DeleteYes, so many nice stamps - a pity they don't ask for your top 3.
Love this theme!

I'll try to buy this stamp because I like this design (and the theme, of course) a lot.
DeleteSo, just in case... Which colour would you prefer the envelope?
