How about posting your favorite photo(s) of "unusual" doors on the Camino

Camino Chrissy · Jun 8, 2019

Hi all! I have enjoyed some of the threads started with photos having a "theme".
I love seeing all the beautiful, quirky, and very old doors we pass by on many of the pilgrimage routes we walk. They often have so much character!
Here's a couple of my many photos to start...

This one made me think of A Christmas Carol, where Marley's ghost appears on the door knocker.

This pleases me no end. I haven’t done my Camino yet, but on my travels always look for interesting, quirky, peculiar doors or doorknockers and have hundreds of pics. Just another thing to look forward to next year

Mette, they are wonderful! Your last photo reminds me of this, but hey, where's the door!

I don"t know yours but I think Mette's pic is the only one taken in Galicia so far.

I walked briefly last year with two Swedes,one of whom was by trade a painter. He could not understand how anyone could leave so many doors without a coat of paint.He could not share our love of the doors as they were.

biped · Jun 8, 2019

Love this thread! I always take pictures of interesting doors when traveling. I had to restrain myself here!

I posted this yesterday, but forgot to include the text. I'm thinking most of the veterans will recognize this door. Do you?

No, I don't recognize it, but with the chicken etched on it, could it be in Santo Domingo?

No, not Santo Domingo. Although not everyone, but a lot of people who overnight in this particular hamlet will have walked through that door.

KinkyOne · Jun 9, 2019

I'll post them here counting on the fact that more people will see them here than in my old(er) thread.

These are from my Camino de Madrid in 2014...

Camino Chrissy · Jun 9, 2019

What a nice variety of doors, Kinky. I really like the close ups of metal handles and locks.I'll copy you and get a few close ups next time.

Santiago De Compostela..

I've read that hand-shaped door knockers originally represented the hand of Fatima; a symbol with protective significance in Arabic and Berber culture.

David Tallan · Nov 2, 2020

This isn't necessarily my favourite. It's too much to ask to choose one. I'll have to post a few doors over the next little while. It is the first I came across as I dipped into my Camino photos. It is the Door of Forgiveness in Vilafranca del Bierzo. Pilgrims whose infirmity made it impossible to proceed all the way to Santiago de Compostela could walk through this door and receive the same blessings that they would have, had they completed their Camino, it was said.

Thanks , it's in the Rua do Vilar.

David Tallan · Nov 3, 2020

Not fancy, or indeed terribly unusual in that section of the Camino, but I liked it.

Camino Chrissy · Nov 3, 2020

They have their own special type of beauty. I appreciate them, too. These are on the Le Puy route.

The first door?

This is an "unusual" one

David Tallan · Nov 9, 2020

This door was well decorated for a camino, although perhaps not as historic as some.

Hey all. I haven't been on the forum for quite sometime (years probably). I walked the Camino Frances in 2016 and to say it was life changing for me is an understatement. On day 3, at the café at...

When you stop at a bar for a beer, wine, coffee or bite to eat, and sit at a table, is it expected that you will return your dirty dishes up to the bar before you leave? I alway do, as it seems...
