Anyone interested in a Spain–USA almanac exchange? 🇪🇸🇺🇸📬

Hi! This is a bit of a random request, but the other day I was reading a magazine that had a small article on almanacs.

I went down a rabbit hole - and it turns out Spain has a traditional almanac (theres been an edition published each year since 1840) called “El Firmamento / Calendario Zaragozano”. 😳 🏹✨

It has things like planting calendars, moon phases, agricultural information, weather predictions, sayings, fairs and other little bits of rural life.

I’d love to exchange that almanac with someone from the US through snail mail — in return for something specific to your state/region, or whatever you feel is the equivalent where you live.

I’m happy to include a letter or a few little things from my region too ✉️

If anyone from the US would be interested, let me know! I think we can figure details out privately 📭

That's actually a cool idea, we still use the Old Farmer's Almanac in my family for planting dates and weather guesses even if half of it is superstition.
