I saw this wonderful old shop sign in Abergavenny yesterday. Burton’s the Tailor closed in October 2017 - after 80 years - but the Art Deco building is Grade II listed and is supposedly protected, although it doesn’t look as if anyone much cares to be honest. #Abergavenny #traditionalshopfront #artdeco #wales

Kitchen utensils or artwork? Lots of lovely traditional enamel things to drool over at @realfabrica in the Barrio de las Letras #Madrid #enamel #enamelware #barriodelasletras #kitchenutensils #madridshopping

This old plumber’s on Cava Baja will presumably turn into a bar - which at least is in line with tradition as there have been inns and taverns here for centuries as stagecoaches from all over Spain used to arrive in the square at the end of the street, which follows the course of the 12th-century town wall - quite a bit of which survives to this day. #Madrid #madridcastizo #madriddelosaustrias #cavabajamadrid #madridmemola #madridmemata #igersmadrid #fontaneria

San Ginés was one of the 10 churches on Madrid’s first charter in the year 1202. It was rebuilt in the 17th century and has had to be restored several times following fires - one of these, in 1824, destroyed a lot of artistic treasures from the Habsburg period but there is still an El Greco in the Capilla del Cristo, as well as paintings by Alonso Cano and Luca Giordano - the church is now run by Opus Dei though and the chapel isn’t usually open. In the 19th century, in the reign of Isabel II, calle Arenal was very fashionable and the great and the good used to flock to mass in their finery. #Madrid #madriddelosaustrias #madridmemola #madridmemata #igersmadrid #madridcastizo
