Spain- Unusual Origami type of stamp from Spain ceebtating 100 years of first Spanish airmail.

Good Friday of 1920, April 1st. Four mail planes departed and arrived simultaneously at an Alicante airfield. They were part of the opening ceremony of the first airmail line in Spain. A line that covered the route Barcelona - Alicante - Malaga, although it had its starting point in Toulouse, where the headquarters of the airline Latécoère that operated the flight was located.

For some years, Latécoère , had tried to link France with its colonies in Africa, managing in September 1919 to link Toulouse with Casablanca, with stops in Spain. In these circumstances, the Spanish government promulgated a Royal Decree on October 17, 1919 to establish the air postal service in Spain, within the coordinates and guidelines that the nation was interested in, and officially contracting with Latécoère for the transportation by plane of the mail within Spain.

This resolution culminated with a whole series of laws and work commissions that had previously tried to introduce airmail to the Spanish postal service with various measures such as the training of pilots within the body of Post officers, the creation of a negotiated Special for “air services” or the “Project of bases for the implantation of Air Mail in Spain”.

The inauguration of the first Spanish mail airline promoted the subsequent development of air mail in Spain, establishing over the years new postal lines between Seville and Larache, Malaga and Melilla, and Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca, demanding from then, by royal decree, that the airlines were Spanish.

In 1921 the air postal service between Seville and Larache, capital of the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco, was inaugurated, which will be carried out by the Spanish company CETA (Air Traffic Air Company) founded by Jorge Loring.

The commemorative emission of this centenary has been made in the form of a die that simulates a biplane that in its flight drops the correspondence.
