When we get visitors from North America, we enjoy showing them around Spain. I thought I would share a few doors and windows we encountered during these travels.
We found this fabulous door in Barcelona.
Discovered this door at Castle Biar, between Alicante and Valencia on the Route of the Castles of Vinalopó. (Note: Dot photo bombing)
Castle Biar was built in the 12th century. Dot obviously loves castles.
An old windmill at La Pagan, restored.
A beautiful home in Cartagena
Another from Cartagena
The architecture in Cartagena is amazing.
Found on a side street in Cordoba
I love the detail on the frame.
Also found in Cordoba.
At the Virgin de la Esperanza Sanctuary
Another find in Barcelona
A bronze door of Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia in Barcelona with scriptures from the New Testament.
Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world. It’s hosted by Dan Antion. Feel free to join in on the fun by creating your own Thursday Doors post each week and then sharing your link in the comments on Dan’s post

Great variety of doors, Darlene, and it was interesting to note we have photos of the Barcelona ones. One day soon we hope to travel further south in Spain.

Oh my goodness, Darlene, all of these buildings are amazing. The architecture, the details and the doors.

Hi Darlene, these are great doors, Dot and all. I particularly like the last one.

These doors seem so inviting. I’d love to visit this part of the world, Darlene!

There’s not a door there I wouldn’t be proud to have here at my house, to greet visitors.

You always find the best doors! Is Spain known for its doors?
March 1, 2024 at 4:30 am
Thanks, Liz. There are great doors all over the world if you keep an eye out for them. I just seem to have found some great ones in Spain. In fact, I was surprised when I went through my pictures and found so many!

Your collections are great, Darlene! I love Spanish architecture, especially the doors and windows. When we visited Barcelona, I foolishly left my camera behind! Some of the Italian buildings are lovely too. xx
March 1, 2024 at 4:33 am
Thanks, Joy. The first time I went to Barcelona, my camera was stolen. Thankfully Paul had his camera and we still got some great pictures. Of course now we take pictures with our phones.

So many fabulous doors, Darlene. I really like old doors. They look like they’re straight out of a fantasy novel! Lol. Super fun photos, my friend. ❤
March 1, 2024 at 4:34 am
So pleased you enjoyed the doors. I also feel like they are out of a fantasy novel. But then great minds…

Great doors. Love those scale figures too. ; ) (Always a joke in our family that loves architecture)

Beautiful doors and buildings, Darlene. They make visitors instantly aware that they are not in North America any more! 😀
March 1, 2024 at 4:39 am
Darlene, you always have a welcome door for your visitors. So many wonderful memories held in these photos.

That first door in Cordoba is my favourite. Love the surrounding details.
March 1, 2024 at 5:29 am
That was quite a find! I went for a little wander near the hotel, down some small streets and there it was. I too love that one!

Windows and doors! Can’t go wrong. Loved your windmill and the Art Nouveau windows in Cartagena.
March 1, 2024 at 5:33 am
Thanks, Steve. I always think of Don Quixote when I see that windmill. Cartagena is a feast for the eyes with its many fabulous buildings.

These are so many doors in Spain. These are amazing images .Anita

Thanks, Jan. Delighted you enjoyed these doors. Cartagena is such a great place with amazing architecture.

These are gorgeous, Darlene – so many unique doors. I agree with Diana – some of them look like they’re straight out of a fantasy novel.
March 1, 2024 at 5:58 pm
Thanks, Teri. We are spoiled here with fabulous doors, full of character as Derrick mentioned, and straight from a fantasy novel as Diana mentioned.

The architecture in Spain is my favorite, Darlene. I’m sure your friend enjoyed the tour.

We had a great time and they loved the buildings of Spain.
March 2, 2024 at 4:03 am
Good to hear they had a great time. I love the architecture in Spain. California has a lot of Spanish influence in architecture.
March 1, 2024 at 11:47 pm
I like that old windmill, and also the sunshine in your photos. We’ve got persistent rain here.
March 1, 2024 at 11:51 pm
The sunshine is wonderful in Spain, but today the wind is cold. But I shouldn’t complain.
March 2, 2024 at 11:10 am
I love the architecture, Darlene, and you are making some great memories! Wonderful photos!
March 2, 2024 at 11:29 am
Absolutely wonderful, Darlene! Thank you!

Beautiful doors and windmill, Darlene. Thank you for sharing them.

These are such interesting and beautiful doors. We’re thinking about travelling to Spain (and Portugal) this fall and have Cordoba on our itinerary. I’ll see if we can find that door!
March 3, 2024 at 12:13 am
You will love Cordoba. I plan to write another post on it as it has many amazing doors.
March 4, 2024 at 11:43 pm
always enjoy checking out door – when I travel and at home. Oh look an orange door on my walk home.
March 5, 2024 at 3:46 am
Such a beautiful array of doors….love them!! The windmill caught my eye…so different than what I expected. Thanks for sharing!!

If I look around, I always find cool doors here in Spain. Thanks, Carol Anne.

Darlene, lovely to join you on this tour of doors! Magnificent ones opening into equally amazing buildings. We might be coming to Barcelona in September so I’ll definitely have to check out this one from Gaudi!
