  • The Coat of Arms of the Kingdom of Spain in Spanish Philately
    The Coat Of Arms of The Kingdom of Spain in Spanish Philately by John Micallef The story behind the royal coat of arms cf the Kingdom of Spain later to be known also as state arms is quite interesting . It clearly shows the old kingdoms of Spain and the constitutional monarchy throughout the ages. It revolves around the various political periods which engrave the history of Spain. Spanish philately depicts these stages in the various issues of its stamps thus enabling the enthusiast to quench his thirst while unfolding the pages of Spanish postal history. The philatelic issues of the Coat of arms of Spain can be divided in three periods namely: The early period, the Francoist period and the reign of Juan Carlos I. In the early days there was no such as a heraldic Coat of Arms for Spain since Spain has been a "United Kingdom" made up of historical kingdoms. In the early days, as far as the Catholic Monarchs, Spain carried the Coat of Arms of its monarch. This was used as the official arms until the first Spanish Republic. The first stamp depicting the Coat of arms of Spain was issued on I st January 1854 under the reign of Isabel II, only four years after the first Spanish stamp saw light. In the year 1854 three issues were printed by the Spanish Postal Authorities. On 1st January four values were printed without perforations 6 cu (Carmine), 2r (Red), 5r (Green) 6r (Blue). On 1st July another four values were printed without perforation to be used officially 1/2 o (Black on yellow) 1 (Black on Rose) 4o (Black on Green) 1 i (Black u Blue).

  • International Bodegas Telmo Rodriguez
    GOLD MEDAL WINE CLUB Taste the Adventure! Spain WITH AGES OF WINEMAKING TRADITION, SPAIN CONTINUES TO GROW WITH UNPRECEDENTED QUALIT Y, DIVERSIT Y, AND VALUE. Many international wine experts have pointed towards Spain as the most dynamic wine country in Europe at present, with the country showing no tendency to reverse its progress in the foreseeable future. Spain has always been a steady, if not spectacular, producer of wine through the last 2000 plus years. Ever since the Romans introduced vines to Spain, a steady stream of wine has originated from its multi-faceted soils. Now, with a strong group of young entrepreneurial Spanish winemakers to fuel its expansion, Spain has climbed amongst the world’s elite winemaking countries. None other than the Wine Spectator magazine wrote, referring to these young Spanish winemakers, “They want to prove that Spain is not just a source for value, but a land with incredible terroirs.” What some of these winemakers have done (including one of our featured wines) is traveled back to the origins of Spanish winemaking to discover some of the original varietals and growing places that have been dispensed with through the ages. Many of these locations are in pristine condition awaiting the advances of modern winemaking techniques to enhance their natural environs. The reputation of high caliber Spanish wines has soared in recent years. For a long time, only Vega Sicilia was mentioned as a ‘great’ Spanish wine. Now there are hundreds of small production wines available throughout the world, at prices below their French and Italian counterparts. For the most part, these wines still represent an excellent price/ value relationship, but who knows just how long that scenario will last.
