Postcard from Spanish enclave Melilla in North Africa

I received this postcard from Spanish enclave Melilla in North Africa. It's a map of all Spanish territories on north coast of Africa. Melilla is a Spanish autonomous city located on the north coast of Africa, sharing a border with Morocco, with an area of 12.3 square kilometres. Melilla, along with Ceuta, is one of two permanently inhabited Spanish cities in mainland Africa. In 2011 it had a population of 78,476, made up of Catholics of Iberian origin, ethnic Riffian Berbers and a small number of Sephardic Jews and Sindhi Hindus. Melilla is officially subject to a territorial claim along with the city of Ceuta.

Fantastic looking postmark with stamp The Road to Santiago, issued on 25.04.2016.


Thank you very much Nina for this wonderful surprise!
