Do you like ironing? I don’t mind, especially when it refers to snapping photos of iron beauties around Barcelona! ;) Here are some for you to enjoy…
Strong lace
1 MarTraditionally, dainty damsels and pretty ladies were kept behind bars in Spain. The bars of the windows of their homes, that is. Luckily for some, here in Barcelona, those bars resembled strong lace and so their beauty was enhanced even more. I leave you with some of these gorgeous and lace-like window grilles, made from either wrought or cast iron, and which can be found around Barcelona… enjoy!
For more examples of cast iron and wrought iron loveliness, you may like to check out this post or this one. Happy weekend, everyone!

Curls and swirls

Wrought iron things have been catching my attention lately (see the dragon head below, for example) and so I dug in my archives and got some more images of this wonderful art form to share with you. Today, we’re going to get a good taste of curls and swirls – enjoy!

There is nothing quite as forbidding as an iron door, and in Barcelona we have plenty of those. Forbidding as they may seem, there are some rather gorgeous ones. I’ll show you, just come with me…
