Siguiendo Sellos, is a dive into my collection of stamps.These tiny, seemingly mundane items hold stories of identity, events, and borders. Through this research, I hope to trace their movements and share with you the worlds they quietly map.

This week’s stamp spotlight:

1930 Barcelona 5 Céntimos Stamp

Issued by Spain to commemorate the 1929–1930 Barcelona International Exposition.

This 5 céntimos stamp reflects the country's push to showcase its industrial, cultural, and architectural achievements. Held on Montjuïc hill, the exposition marked a key moment in Catalan modernism and urban development.

The stamp served both a postal and symbolic role, celebrating Spain’s modernization and Barcelona’s emergence as a cultural hub.
