Tavira, porta de reixas

A Porta de Reixa foi deixada no Algarve, pelos Muçulmanos , era e é feita de madeira e toda entrançada.
A Porta de Reixa , era uma constante na Cidade antiga de Tavira, ainda hoje existem algumas recuperadas.
Era através destas portas e janelas que os seus moradores refrescavam as suas casas.
E era também através destas portas ou janelas que as donzelas namoravam sem os seus pais darem por isso.

The Porta de Reixa was left in the Algarve by the Muslims, it was and is made of wood and all plaited.
The Porta de Reixa was a constant in the old town of Tavira, and there are still a few of them today.
It was through these doors and windows that the inhabitants refreshed their homes.
And it was also through these doors and windows that maidens dated without their parents realising.

Two beautiful looking little houses Isabel.......both very colourful and welcoming. I like the flowers growing along the frontage. You've captured them in lovely light and detail.

I love the idea of the latticed window.........I'm guessing that everyone know what went on behind them, but it was never mentioned ;-)

I wish you a good weekend ahead..!!
