Valencia's architectural style offers a lot of ornamental iron work, along with a lot of tile (they even put decorative tile on the underside of little outdoor outdoor balconies!). Often an elaborate iron gate in a doorway includes the initials of the building's title. Right:
B + V
G + B
Left:
J + C + M
A beautiful example.
Wow. I love these. I think about how hard I work with just a pen, and my mind boggles that this was done in metal.
