ES-P4

Another attraction in Madrid. This is the city's emblem, el oso y el madroño (Bear and the Madroño Tree/strawberry tree). This statue is located in Puerta del Sol (Spanish for "Gate of the Sun"), one of the most well known and busiest places in the city. Thanks namiet for showing another landmark of this city.

A €0,78 International Polar Year Stamp was affixed on the postcard and posted from CTA Madrid with machine pictorial cancellation on 1.6.2009. Apparently, only letters in box.

Wait! Another typical cancellation with symbol of Spanish Post in box was found in reverse position at the bottom. I guess this one was first cancelled but missed the stamp. So, another postmarking process with a different postmark as above. It is better than pen-cancelled on the stamp.
