Thursday Doors: Oropesa del Mar, Spain

This is my contribution to the weekly Thursday Doors challenge, hosted by Dan Antion over at No Facilities blog.

**

For the second week, I’m featuring Old Town Oropesa del Mar, a quiet and colorful coastal town located in the province of Castellón, in the Valencian Community. It’s situated on the eastern coast of Spain along the Mediterranean Sea.

The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with archaeological evidence suggesting settlements dating to the Bronze Age. I hope you enjoy!

Here’s a fun discovery taken from the bus on the way to Old Town from where we stayed in Oropesa!

Thank you for stopping by. If you would like to see the first installment of doors from Oropesa, visit here. For more contributions to Thursday Doors, from around the globe, visit Dan’s.

Have a wonderful weekend!

    Those are good, solid looking doors- and houses- Brenda. I like a place with a sense of humour too.

    These are fabulous doors, Brenda. I love the colors in the doors and the street art. The featured door is my favorite. It has color, street art and corner (doors, windows?).
