The
King of Spain, Don Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, declared open on 8.10.1980, at
the Palacio
de Cristal de la Casa de Campo the most important philatelic exhibition
that has been organized so far in Spain, called Espamer 80, where
the elite meet Stamp collectors from America and Europe, responding to the
motto Spain, bridge between two cultures of America and Europe..
At
the exhibition, which will be the culmination of the four others of this kind
that have been held so far, involved, Spain, and twenty European and American
countries. Over a hundred million pesetas was the budget for this sample,
whose preparation took one year. Government support has been instrumental,
through an organizing committee chaired by the Minister of Transport and
Communications. The main objectives of the exhibition were designed to serve
the promotion of philately in the participating countries and strengthen the
bonds of friendship and fellowship.
As
is usual in this type of exhibitions, a series of commemorative postage stamps
were issued on this occasion a leaf block of four stamps further comprising two
bullets, no postal value, with the emblem of the exhibition.
Thank
you Maria.
