Travels in Spain, Doors and Windows (1)

Posted on March 11, 2018 | 16 Comments

Before we begin the journey of circumnavigation of Madrid, I thought I might start with a door. This one is in the town of Almagro in Castilla-La Mancha.

More doors to come along the way…

    I suspect that the house once belonged to a noble family.

This is a fabulous door, full of character as I am sure many characters have gone through it over the years.

  I always wonder about the people that have gone through a door like that.

  Thanks Sue. I had to wait ages for a delivery vehicle to move before I could get the picture.

So beautiful! How old do you think the door/building is? I’m in awe of historical architecture–probably because in my hometown, the “old” buildings are early 20th century.

  Spain is the place for wonderful old doors that are full of character. The best place in Europe.

I’m thinking you would need a battering ram to get in the door if they didn’t want you inside, Andrew! –Curt

You being a doorman I thought this might interest you, this lady is not exactly a doorlady although she does come up with some now and then. She has an interesting site which may appeal to you Andrew
