The Last Great Door
If you are a news junkie you know that Barcelona FC won the Champions League Title on the weekend. I can only imagine the party. We were there when they eliminated Real Madrid and it was a major party in the pouring rain.
The door in the photo is another door facing onto a major street. If you look closely you can see that the knob is in the centre of the Man door. It was very common for the large doors to have smaller (I called them Hobbit doors) doors built in. The great door could be closed to secure the entrance to the apartment or office block and then a key holder would only have to open the man door to get in at off hours.
The trip to Spain had some real challenges for a non-traveller like me but the experience was very rewarding.
