Date of Issue :  28 January 2015

Spain Post has prepared for issuing a set of two stamps dedicated to its gastronomy. The stamp release consisting of two items has been already designed and is scheduled to put into circulation on the 28^th of January.

Spain enjoys a vastly diffuse and dramatic gastronomic heritage. Traditional Spanish cooking draws on European impressions from the north, Moorish influences from the south and, thanks to early explorers ingredients from the Americas and the Far East. Spanish food is existing and diverse.Contrary to most North Americans beliefs it is also mild and deeply flavoured.
