Premiá de Mar, like most towns round here, has its share of Modernist architecture. Today I’m showing you a splendid door from 1918. Originally a cinema, this building known as El Patronat became a parish hall, before returning to its roots and becoming a local arts centre for performances and film screenings. I always enjoy its exuberant doorways when I pass by.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
These are lovely – such sinuous lines.

It was quite the Movement then. Hard to know who took what from whom, especially here in Spain.
