[Spain] Canary Islands
Desinquieto
These are just ideas that I have created, as I would love to have a stamp that represents the islands somehow.
Stamp 1: Día de Canarias. Canary Islands Day, May 30th. It's a public holiday across all the Canary Islands. This day commemorates the anniversary of the first session of the Canary Islands Parliament, recognizing the self-governing status of the Canarian archipelago within Spain. In the background, a Canarian city, with a prominent Canarian hat "cachorro" and a Canarian guitar "timple". Video (58 seconds): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghkHgKb3xH8
Stamp 2: Papas arruga's con mojo. Wrinkled potatoes with mojo sauce. A unique way of cooking potatoes, characteristic of the Canary Islands, paired with a special local sauce. This dish stands as the most famous in the islands, serving as a side for meats and fishes, or even enjoyed alone or as a tapa. Video (47 seconds): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrgMDP8Xbz8
Stamp 3: Plátano de Canarias. Canary Banana. The most significant cultivation on the islands, accounting for 60% of this fruit's European production. Video (19 seconds): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YqipZ7Vwyw
Stamp 4: Dunas de Maspalomas. Maspalomas Dunes. Sand dunes within a nature reserve in the southern part of Gran Canaria. A desert landscape amidst a bustling tourist city. Video (60 seconds): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOWO4rLA-gU
Stamp 5: Casa canaria. Canarian House. Traditional Canarian dwellings made of raw stone and wooden balconies, representing the first settlers after the conquest.
Stamp 6: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. One of the two most important cities in the Canary Islands, holding dual capital status and being the more populous of the two. In 1996, it was hailed by Thomas Whitmore as the city with the world's best climate. Video (20 seconds): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qVr6xroZiQ
Stamp 7: Presa Canario Dog (Canis Lupus) and Jandía Cardón (Euphorbia handiensis). Two emblematic symbols representing the islands' flora and fauna. According to a law by the Canary Islands Government, they stand as the natural symbols of Gran Canaria Island. Video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_gjA0q8y26M
