Some This and That Around Barcelona

 I planned to post photos of doors we saw as we explored Barcelona, but decided to add some other interesting things we noticed.

building with the first geocache find
which window?


got it!


an elaborate garage door painting


ornate decoration


the door to a shop along one of the side streets


another cache find, this one in a park


tile art in the Metro station


another Metro art


graffiti? art work? 


the central sidewalk in the oldest Barcelona neighborhood
it covers an old river, thus the feel of wavy lines


more doors


public water fountains in the oldest neighborhood


an interesting shop selling only moon shot & p**p  figurines


we both love taking door and knob photos


the half door is perfect for human entrance


another public water fountain


overhead door to another side street shop


ornate doors to a small museum


no knob or handle on this door


This was my favorite geocache find in Barcelona, because of its uniqueness. It is a lamp post and public water fountain with 4 spigots. The water from the fountain is safe for drinking. There is even a spigot closer to the base for animals. We found a traditional cache and then posed for the photo for a virtual geocache. At one time (1800's) there were 18 lamp-fountains around the city. Now there are two.
