In his periplus through the Maltese archipelago, Alex kindly sent me also a nice postcard with an aerial view of the region around St. Paul's bay, one of the more tourist sought areas in the Island.

Alex used a stamp of the, the Maltese SEPAC 2022 issue, devoted to Local beverages.

The 1,40 € stamp, part of a four stamp set, all transmitting an idea of vintage advertising posters, is iollustrated wiyh the image of a bottle of Bajtra Liqueur. A popular local beverage made from the fruits of the Prockly pear, which also feature on the background, as well as the skyline of the village of Mdina.

The neat Postmar tells us that the card was maild from the town it depicts - Saint Paul's bay or San Pawl il-Bahar, in Maltese.
