Noia-Pozoblanco Postcard Swap - LUZ

The last postcard to Pozoblanco has been sent by Luz. In it we can see a quaint little picture with some of the traditional shipping boats at Testal harbour. They are used in the shellfish-gathering industry which is so important for our town and area.


On the back, Luz gives a short but sweet message in which she advertises the marvels of our town. "What else can you ask for" indeed!


Thanks, Luz!

Noia-Pozoblanco Postcard Swap - MIRIAM

Another postcard travelling to Pozoblanco! This one is Miriam's, and on it we can see a lateral view of the Santa María a Nova church, along with its cemetery, famed for the medieval guild tombstones that crowd the inside and the outside of the secularized building (and now museum).


On the back, Miriam complains a little on the macabre nature of the card, and appropriately blames me (the teacher) who was the one who gave it to her. Alright, point taken: no more views of cemeteries in the future...


Thanks, Miriam!

Thanks, Alicia!

This postcard was sent to us from Russia. It was sent by Nastya, who lives in Voronezh, 3689 kilometers away!


The card was shipped to us around Christmas time, so on its front side we can see a lovely Christmas tree in a forest surrounded by snow, animals and presents.


On the back, Nastya tells us that she is an artist, and that she designed the illustration on the card herself! Great picture, friend!


Спасибо, Nastya!
