Costa Brava, El Golfet
Not postally used, but with a message covering the reverse, part of which lets the writer vent over not being able to find any stamps for sale when she wanted to post the card. We can definitely empathise with that! Grade: 4
-
Granada, Court of Small Canal
Unused. Grade: 1
-
50th Anniversary of China-Spain Diplomatic Relations (Maximum Cards) (set of 2)
Issued as set MC-134 by China Philatelic in 2023, both cards feature flamingos but one is stamped and postmarked as China, while the other, naturally, represents Spain. Grade: 1
-
Leon, Aerial view of cathedral
Mailed in 2024, the front of the card is OK and the reverse is quite congested with four stamps, two postmarks, an extra sticker of a wolf, and assorted other writing and marks. Grade: 4

Madrid, Edificio Carrion
We won’t often do this for an office building, but here’s an abridged Wikipedia entry describing it: “Edificio Carrión or Edificio Capitol is an outstanding example of the expressionist-leaning trend within the wider scope of rationalist architecture in Spain, an icon of both the Gran Vía and the city. 54 metres high, the building lies on the corner where the Gran Vía meets the Calle de Jacometrezo. The project was entrusted to Vicente Eced Eced and Luis Martínez Feduchi, who were influenced by the November Group. Building works started on 11 April 1931. The building was inaugurated on 15 October 1933. Depicted in many artistic works, the building’s façade was prominently used as setting of the movie El día de la bestia. The building was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 2018.” And the postcard? Stamped and mailed in 2024, but no cancellation. Grade: 3
