The Spanish Correos philatelic service has announced the designs for two new issues of variable value stamps (ATMs), which will be released from October 22nd to 25th during the 56th National Stamp Fair in Madrid.
One of the designs commemorates the centenary of the opening of the Círculo de Bellas Artes building in Madrid, designed by the architect Antonio Palacios.
The second design is dedicated to the Bonaparte tunnel, an underground passageway connecting the gardens of the Palacio Real (Campo del Moro) with the Casa de Campo. This tunnel was built in 1811 by the architect Juan de Villanueva, at the request of King José Bonaparte. The tunnel was closed in the early 1980s, and the first section of historical interest was reopened in January 2026, with access from the Campo del Moro.
