This week’s entry is yet another door from Barcelona – it’s my third one so far in this challenge. Barcelona is a beautiful city filled with art and history – we visited last year and absolutely loved it. We’d leave the hotel just after breakfast and walk all day, exploring the winding streets and golden beaches, returning late with dusty feet and full hearts.
This roller shutter door was in a back street near to our hotel and I just loved the imagery – very appropriate for a Mexican tapas place.

Wow, love it! π
Wow! was my first reaction too! What a stunner.
Thank you π
Wow, that one certainly stands out – great shot!
Barcelona is definitely on my bucket list.
Leave the hotel and just walk and explore all day? Sounds like my kinda trip π
It was a great trip, Norm – we loved the city (and that included the eight year old, who was happy to walk and explore all day too) Well worth a visit!
That’s an attention-grabber for sure, Helen! And I love tapas, so…

Thanks, Janet – me too. Though for some reason we never went back when the cafe was open – will have to on the next trip π
We’re fortunate to have two tapas restaurants close to us. But making a meal of tapas can get rather expensive!

Ha ha, yes – and for some reason they like giving three items to share between two people. That’s always awkward π
Wowwowwow, I love it! That sure grabs the attention. I’m sure I’d go back when that restaurant was open and spend some time. Wonder what it looks like behind that door. I’d have to find out! π
Thanks Marian! Yes, I need to go back and see what’s behind the door – perfect excuse for another trip, I think π
Love the place, love the picture. Barcelona is by far out my favourite place to be. Always do same as you, walk-walk-walk and sit down on a terrace at Rambla de la Catalunya (Not The Rambla but the extension) and enjoy.
Yes – there’s so much to be seen just walking around, or sitting, as you say, and letting the city pass you by π
Very unique use of the space. Much better than yet another roll away door.
It is, isn’t it? Amazing what you can do with paint and some imagination π
It does look like a Mexican design – mexican tapas? Sounds good to me!
Yes, another commenter said it was a Sugar Skull Phantom design, which is a Mexican holiday icon. The tapas do sound good – I might have to go back and investigate further π
A beautiful Sugar Skull Phantom Door! I had no idea they celebrated this Mexican holiday there.
I’ve never had Tapas, but a new Tapas restaurant opened not far from us and it’s been getting good crowds. We went for lunch one day, but the wait was awful so. we went to our Plan B place, and haven’t returned to try again.
Thank you! I’m not sure if they celebrate the holiday in Barcelona – I should really look it up π Hope you get to your tapas place soon, it must be good if it’s that difficult to get in.
If there is a large Catholic population they just might celebrate it!
RE: the tapas place- I hope so too!
Love this door!
Thanks, Lyn! It really caught my eye π
Very cool!
