  Largest stamp mosaic: Spain breaks Guinness World Records world record

  
MALAGA, Spain -- A total of 230,000 original postage stamps were stuck down by adults and children in the Costa del Sol capital's José María Martín Carpena sports centre on a strip of paper 220 square metres in size; it took 22 hours to complete the mosaic, which sets
the new world record for the Largest stamp mosaic, according to the World Record Academy: www.worldrecordacademy.com/.
A total of 230,000 postage stamps spread across 220.28 square metres make up the largest stamp mosaic in the world. As many as 3,100 people went to the city's Martín Carpena sports hall to stick their stamp on the giant.

  The Guinness World Records' record for the largest stamp mosaic measured 220.28 m² (2,371 ft²), and was created by Correos (Spain), in Malaga, Spain, on 8 November 2014. The mosaic measured 17.50 m in length and 12.58 m in width.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the fastest time to print a postage stamp; it is 57 min 50 sec and was achieved by Liechtensteinische Post AG (Liechtenstein) at the LIBA 2012 Stamp Exhibition, in the Saal am Lindaplatz in Schaan, Liechtenstein, on 16 August 2012.

     The previous Guinness World Records' record for the largest postage stamp mosaic was previously held by Johannesburg (South Africa) where a mural with 201,000 stamps covering 162 square metres was created in 2010.
  
 
   As many as 3,100 people went to the city's Martín Carpena sports hall to stick their stamp on the giant.

   Modesto Fraguas, the deputy director for Philately at Correos (the Spanish Post Office), explained that the objective of this initiative was "to introduce the general public to the world of stamps".

    The mosaic depicts the letter 'Ñ', in upper case – a letter which is unique to the Spanish-language alphabet and considered to be a symbol of Spain and its former colonies.

    A total of 230,000 original postage stamps were stuck down by adults and children in the Costa del Sol capital's José María Martín Carpena sports centre on a strip of paper 220 square metres in size.

   The entire process took 22 hours, spread over two days, with the average participant – two-thirds of whom were school children – laying 74.2 stamps.

   The stamps chosen for the mosaic were all different designs issued in 2011 and which otherwise would have been destroyed at the National Coinage and Stamp Factory (the Spanish Royal Mint).
