In one week my hubby and I will be on plane heading to our next vacation to Glasgow and London. I am super excited to hit the skies again and see things I have never seen before and visit with friends and family we have not seen in a while.

Hello lovely readers, I hope you had a marvelous weekend 🙂 My weekend was busy because I was running around getting prepared for my next big adventure on Tuesday to…SPAIN!

Vintage travel poster of Spain — Source-Poster Corner

I cannot wait as Spain has always been a dream place that I would love to visit and now I get the chance tomorrow! Now I won’t get to see ALL of Spain, in fact I will only get to see 2 places while I’m there as I’m going for my Lindy Hop Teachers wedding. However, 2 places is better than zero places in my mind, so Barcelona and seaside village of Platja d’Aro is our destinations (this trip).

I plan on taking tons of pictures while there to share with you, but in the mean time I thought it would be fun to share some Vintage Travel Posters of Spain to help you get excited along with me, AND we can all agree that vintage travel posters are just super cool to look at.

Vintage Travel Posters for Spain

First up the iconic image of the Spanish Flamenco Dancer. I just adore her dress in this 1955 poster.

Visit Sevilla in either 1933 or 1955 (I think 1955) to see the famous Flamenco Dancer.

The Flamenco Dancer is so iconic it is pretty hard to not find a travel poster with their imagery on it.

San Sebastian -1930s travel poster.

I’m a sucker for a wonderful 1940s advertising poster and this one does NOT disappoint. The wedges, her trousers and sweater are so Katharine Hepburn and I can’t get enough!
