The city of Barcelona is full of beautiful and inspiring art and architecture. You can spend many days exploring all the big sights mentioned in the guide books and there will still be visual surprises waiting to be discovered. One of my favourite discoveries was the way that the metal shutters on all the little lock-up shops are painted. I had a fun time one day wandering the little back streets finding lots of fun examples.
Many of the shops just feature text graffiti which can be very beautiful but is often just dull, obvious and scruffy. The solution shopkeepers seem to have chosen is to paint the shutters for themselves. For the most part, graffiti painters seem reluctant to paint over existing art.
These photographs were all taken in just one small area. There must be many hundreds of such doors scattered throughout the city.
