12 MONTHS, 12 STAMPS. MÁLAGA
Correos continues the 12 months, 12 stamps, 12 provinces series with this stamp dedicated to Malaga. It is to be used this month as a single type of postage for all mailings from post offices in Malaga. It is represented by the letters ‘MA’, alluding to the vehicle number plates once used in Spain. The stamp shows some of the most noticeable elements of the province.
Centre Pompidou. In 2013, Malaga was chosen as the first city outside France to have a site of this Parisian art centre.
La Manquita. That is the name given to the Cathedral in Malaga, because one of its towers is unfinished.

Alcazaba. It is of Muslim origin and located on a hill on the side of Mount Gibralfaro. Its sea views and the sound of the water from its fountains make it a special place.
