\u00c1lvaro Castro-Harrigan<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Considered an indispensable reference in the field of collecting and the history of Costa Rica, \u00c1lvaro Castro-Harrigan is an entrepreneur and educator with an exceptional philatelic career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His passion for stamps began at the age of eight, inspired by the philanthropic work of his father, founder of Castro Carazo University.

In addition to her success in exhibitions, Castro-Harrigan is a rigorous scholar of national history, having served as an author and editor of various books on the subject. Her work and dedication establish her as a true custodian of Costa Rican postal heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
