EXFILNA and JUVENIA 2025 Successfully Held in Cádiz

EXFILNA and JUVENIA 2025 were held at the Baluarte de la Candelaria in Cádiz from 5 to 9 November, standing out as a highly successful national philatelic event. During those days, various activities took place, including presentations of postal issues, guided tours of the city, workshops, conferences, and exhibitions of philatelic collections. In addition, several cultural activities were held, including outdoor drawing with Urban Sketchers, school visits, and discussions on philatelic and cultural topics.

The event was made possible thanks to the support of the Cádiz City Council, the Cádiz Provincial Council, Correos (the Spanish postal service), the FNMT (Spanish Royal Mint), ANFIL (Association of Philatelic Entities of Cádiz), EDIFIL (Association of Philatelic Entities of Cádiz), local businesses, schools, and participants.

One of the central events was the “Draw a Stamp for Cádiz” Contest, in which more than 1,500 students from public and private schools in Cádiz and the surrounding province participated. The First Prize in the Children’s Category went to María del Mar Cuevas Pacheco from the Juan Pablo II School in San Pedro, La Línea de la Concepción, and the Youth Category Prize went to Julia López-Cepero Guzmán from the Las Banderas Secondary School in El Puerto de Santa María.
