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

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...

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.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
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.

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

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.
