Correos has presented the stamp dedicated to the tradition of the dragging of cans, the popular Christmas custom that is celebrated in the morning of each January 5th in Algeciras.
The local Philatelic and Numismatic Group is the promoter of an initiative that will allow the stamp to circulate throughout Spain and thus extol one of the hallmarks of the city.
The City Council and the Association of Entrepreneurs of Algeciras Heritage, Aepa, have been working together to get the dragging of cans to be considered by the Junta de Andalucía as a Festival of Cultural Interest.
The procedures to obtain the issuance of this stamp in homage to the can haulage began at the beginning of last year.
