Forging curves, Abanilla

Abanilla is a town in Murcia, bordering Alicante, in Spain. Its intricate streets and alleys make up a labyrinth in which it is worth getting lost in the early afternoon when solitude and silence take over the place. Some of the narrow streets and a long staircase seem to fall from the hill where the castle once stood. At the top, a small, charming cactus garden and splendid panoramic views await us. Visiting the towns of the Iberian Peninsula is like visiting a true catalog of wrought iron that protects its windows - or simply beautifies them -: an endless array of geometry as diverse as it is surprising. The history of this craft is lost in the past but we can always enjoy its forms. In most of the designs, suggestive spirals are present that await us with their rich iconography.
