Alcúdia has been chosen as one of four locations featured in Correos’ 2026 “Pueblos con Encanto” (Charming Towns) stamp series, highlighting some of Spain’s most distinctive and culturally significant destinations.
Alcúdia Town Hall has welcomed the announcement, describing it as an important recognition that will help promote the municipality’s rich history, cultural heritage and unique landscape both nationally and internationally.
The stamp dedicated to Alcúdia carries the standard Tariff A value of €0.96, corresponding to a standard domestic letter weighing up to 20 grams. It forms part of a special fold-out accordion-style edition comprising four self-adhesive stamps and an accompanying postcard-format vignette.
Launched by Correos in 2016, the “Pueblos con Encanto” series celebrates four outstanding locations across Spain each year. The 2026 edition features Alcúdia, Puebla de Sanabria, Villanueva de los Infantes, and Zahara de los Atunes.
Alcúdia is one of Mallorca’s most historically significant and distinctive municipalities. The town preserves its Roman heritage through the archaeological site of Pollèntia, while its impressive medieval and Renaissance walls make it one of the island’s most important historical landmarks. Founded as a town by King Jaume II in 1325, Alcúdia was later awarded the title of “Ciutat Fidelíssima” (Most Faithful City) by Emperor Charles V.
To mark the release, Correos has also issued a special First Day Cover dedicated to Alcúdia, featuring the new stamp alongside an official commemorative postmark.
Philatelic products are available through Correos offices, the Correos Market platform, or via the Correos Philatelic Service.
The inclusion of Alcúdia in the prestigious “Pueblos con Encanto” collection further reinforces the town’s reputation as one of Spain’s most attractive and historically important destinations.
