They love to decorate the shop shutters in Barcelona. I found some excellent examples of this in the Sant Antoni area of the city, where the designs portrayed the services offered in a colourful and artistic manner.

Nice doors to make a series! Shutters down in the US, Europe and Asia. You could publish a book 🙂
