Postcard from València

Some people may do not like it, but for me it is always a pleasure to receive a postcard from a place I know well. To get a new insight, to see how the place has changed, to see which postcard people choose...

Pedro sent this postcard from València, with a matching stamp and a postmark with the image of the Central Market (also on the postcard). It you want to know his impressions of the city, you can read them on one of his blogs.

  1. I thought you wouldn't mind. After all, as you say, it is always great to see something we know well on a card or a stamp, or even on TV. I find myself on many occasions watching youtube videos of places I have been to... It is always great to remember (even if a particular visit might have been marred by this or that mishap).
    Letter to go this week...
    Abraço

    I absolutely love these pictorial postmarks that Correos have in the main post office of most large cities and some other famous places.
    I always try to cancel a postcard or cover with them whenever I visit the other side of the border.

    1. I like them too, but the timetable of the post offices sometimes is too short to take advantage of it!

    2. I mean, in small towns.
