Issued by Mexico in 1979, this 80-centavo stamp promotes national tourism and highlights the unique circular island town of Mexcalitán, located in the state of Nayarit. The design depicts the picturesque settlement surrounded by waterways, often referred to as the “Venice of Mexico” due to its canal-like layout during rainy seasons. Part of the México Turístico series, the stamp is printed in vibrant colors that showcase the town’s compact urban plan and cultural heritage. A desirable item for collectors interested in Latin American tourism issues, architectural themes, and Mexican regional history.
