Baraja Gallega
Baraja Gallega designed by cartoonists and caricaturists Pinto Chinto (David Pintor & Carlos López) in 2002.
“Baraja Gallega” or “La baraja de Galicia”
Baraja Gallega was designed by cartoonists and caricaturists Pinto Chinto (David Pintor & Carlos López) and published in conjunction with a scratch card competition run by the newspaper “La Voz de Galicia” in April, 2002. The prizes included a Hyundai Accent CDRi and 1000 euros in cash. The usual suit symbols have been replaced with objects associated with Galicia: scallop shells, umbrellas, bagpipes and barnacles. The court cards depict Galician historical and cultural personalities such as Rosalia de Castro, Alfonso X and Castelao.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
