Spain – 2022 Popular Festivals. -Fallas Festival, Valencia. The Fallas is a traditional celebration held annually in commemoration of Saint Joseph in the city of Valencia, Spain with a pyrotechnic spectacle of firecracker detonation.
United Kingdom – 1999 Food Import – Peeling potato
Canada – 2017 Daisies – Erigeron specious
USA – 1978 American Folk Art – Basket design quilt by Christopher Pulman, 1875
Mexico – 1950 Chieftain Head, Bonampak
Mexico – 1966 Church Santa Prisca, Taxco
Dominican Republic – 1945 Dominican Post Emblem

Ecuador – 1959 Arte Colonial Quito
Argentina – 1956 Guillermo Brown (1777-1857)
Chile – 1956 De Havilland Venom FB.4 airplane and Easter Island monolith
Of course, the falles stamp caught my attention, as it is from my region. Apart from the fireworks spectacle, the most important part is the burning of the ephemeral (but magnificent) sculptures.
Look at the cheekbones on that Mexican chieftain! The $20 Chilean stamp with the easter Island head is pretty neat. As for the Fallas Festival – we get so many people complaining about the one day fireworks, I cannot imagine yours. Really, nobody does festivals quite the Spanish!!
A beautiful Canadian stamp! The US quilt square will look familiar on an upcoming week on my blog! Food Imports I can understand, but an image of peeling potatoes is rather mundane! It says “food from afar” on the stamp. Just how far did potatoes have to come? Okay, they are actually native to S. America, but it sounded funny to me. 🙂
Postcards Etc 
Wow, you included a lot of countries!

Love a pyrotechnic display and bonfires, fun stamp. Our firework festival is in November when a bonfire is appreciated for its warmth.
