Here in Spain the price of the stamps have increased a lot in the last years. The stamps have become an item for collectors not for sending letters because of their high prices. Even the stamps collectors are complaining about it. It is a pity!

These came out a couple weeks ago:
Personally, I find the Pride one boring and unoriginal, and it really irks me that it’s in English. It’s slanting as a nod to the Norwegian word for queer.
The postal horn series is the oldest running stamp series in the world, and it has tons of denominations. You won’t see this one, as it’s really expensive, but you’ll see many others as make-up postage. Later this year there will be a special stamp commemorating the series as a whole.

winner team of italian A serie (Scudetto) 2021-2022, issued june 30:
Minisheet 200 x 130 mm, self-adhesive.
Each stamp is a B… and sadly it’s the first issued after the recent tariff raise… it’s 1,2€ instead of the former 1,1€ 
Of course, older B stamps retain their value for sending domestic 20g.

That Miniature Sheet look so great. I am worried about the price of slovak stamps, it seems that grows year by year. I have some in my collection.

Yes, I’m very disappointed. Sad that Slovak Post makes beautiful stamps, but I can’t use them for postcards because it will be overpaying.

Hello again Dear Postcrossers
Today July 13th is available the new minisheet in Costa Rica: about Musicians. We like the stamps so much however one more time we cant use them to postcards, incredible. We are going to use them in envelopes. The matasellos or postmark is very interesting.

Maritime Link Between Cyprus - Greece
After 21 years, the maritime passenger connection between Cyprus and Greece is becoming a reality in view of the fact that the first voyage of M/V Daleela will take place on the 19th of June 2022 from the port of Limassol, thus inaugurating the new service, which was a goal that was set by the Ministry of Shipping in the context of 35 actions regarding the Cyprus Shipping Industry. We set sail for Piraeus and the rest of Europe! Our fellow citizens, persons who are afraid to fly, students, disabled persons, those who would like to travel to Greece by car, motorcycle or bicycle as well as all Cyprus citizens, will now be able to use an alternative means of connection and travel to Greece by sea! Furthermore, we are strengthening Cyprus’ maritime tourism by attracting persons from Greece to Cyprus as well European citizens on a wider scale. This is a project with added value which aims at cultivating a culture of civil society, especially for young persons, so that they can fall in love with the sea even more, so that they can get closer to ships, get to know about shipping, obtain experience in maritime transport and enjoy the benefits of this Service! A Strong Shipping Industry means a Stronger Cyprus!

EUROMED 2022 – Antique cities of the Mediterranean
For the ninth consecutive year, the Member States of the Euromed Postal Union for the Mediterranean are issuing a stamp with a common theme, and this year’s theme is “Antique cities of the Mediterranean”. Cyprus’ stamp depicts the monumental stone vase of the Ancient city of Amathunta.
Amathunta was founded circa 1050 B.C. at the south coast of Cyprus. In ancient times, it was one of the most important cities-kingdoms. Its geographical location, its rich hinterland and its port, helped it prosper and develop trade relations beyond Cyprus. Two monumental stone vases had been placed during the 7th century BC on the acropolis of Amathunta, outside the temple of Aphrodite of Amathunta. One vase was transferred to the Louvre Museum in 1865, while its broken counterpart is at its place at the top of the acropolis of Amathunta.
