We’ve reached the final installment of Cy’s “Snapshots from Madrid” series. Today’s post features some of the interesting doors Cy “experienced” while in Madrid, an appropriate ending for the series.
I had the opportunity to visit the 80th anniversary Picasso exhibit at the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid. The exhibit, entitled Pity and Terror in Picasso: The Path to Guernica, bring[s] together approximately 150 masterpieces by the artist–some from the Reina Sofía’s own collection and others from over 30 institutions around the world, including the Musée Picasso and Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris; the Tate Modern in London; The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; and the Beyeler Foundation in Basel, to name a few. There are also selections from private collections including that of Claude Ruiz-Picasso, the son of the artist.
The exhibit was well worth the 10€ entry fee.
But I find the art of everyday Madrid inspirational as well. In particular, the entry doors to apartment buildings and offices kept me engrossed for quite some time. Some of the doors appear below.
[Click an image for a closer look. Be sure to note the fine details–the artistry–of the doors].
Without a doubt, Madrid has some of the most beautiful doors I’ve ever seen.
As Cy “closes the door” on her adventures in Madrid, she leaves knowing that the door will always be open. Who knows? Maybe, she’ll find her way back to Madrid some day.
Although this is the end of Cy’s series, I have a feeling I’ll be back with a few more random “Snapshots from Madrid” some time soon.
To visit–or revisit–the other three posts in the series, follow the links below:
Thank you, Cy, for allowing us to experience Madrid through you. Have a safe return home. See you soon, friend!

Thanks for sharing Chandra and Cy. It was great following the series ‘Snapshots from Madrid’ and all the wonderful photographs. Spain is somewhere I’ve never been to, perhaps I will check it out some day too!

I’ve never been either, but it is on my Bucket List. Until then, living vicariously through friends.
