Don't miss this post - the gorgeous doors of Segovia, Spain

For my frequent readers, you'll know that my boyfriend is living in Spain this year, where he's teaching English, and in turn, perfecting his Spanish. He lives in Segovia, which I visited in October and January, and the historic part of the town is beautiful as a fairy tale.

I immediately took to the charming, personal, and beautifully antiquated architecture. You might remember the post I did back in December about antique Spanish doors. Well, I thought it'd be fun to show you the real thing (some are old, some look old, and some are new). Enjoy!

























Gorgeous, no?!

STUNNING Antique Spanish doors

Segovia and the older cities of Spain are full of gorgeous, ornate wooden doors which I would love to be able to pack up and bring back home with me, but with the price of checking bags these days it's just not an option. However, one can acquire such goodies in the states from wonderful companies such as Portera Doors, who lovingly restore antique Spanish doors in California. ...Oh if I was a rich girl...

Does the door above look familiar? Remember the chest from the Castle Alcazar in this post?

So - over the next couple of weeks I'm going to try and take pictures of all the gorgeous doors around the city so you can compare for yourself!
