Overview
- The stamp, which was presented on Wednesday at Soutomaior Castle with an honorary cancellation, has a print run of 65,000 and a face value of €2 as part of Correos's 'Literatura' series.
- The emission followed a formal request from the Concello de Soutomaior and was launched at a ceremony attended by local officials and Correos's filatelic director Nuria Lera.
- Correos made the stamp available through post offices, Correos Market and its filatelic service so the portrait of Vinyals can circulate nationally and internationally on mail and collectibles.
- María Vinyals was a Soutomaior-born writer, journalist and early feminist known as the 'Marquesa Roja' who advocated female education, equal rights and universal suffrage and who led cultural institutions in her time.
- The simultaneous release of a 65,000-copy Frederic Mompou stamp highlights how town councils use Correos's themed series, fixed print runs and retail channels to raise local heritage profiles and reach new generations.
