Old Buildings around the World

The featured image is the old salt mine in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands

This week’s challenge from CFFC are photos of old buildings, barns, sheds and houses. Here’s mine! I really look forward to Cee’s different challenges. Taking photos of old buildings is something I really enjoy and now I get a chance to show them off.

Beautiful green tiled house on the esplanade in Ribadesella, Spain. Built by a returning Spanish merchant from Cuba after he had made his fortune.

I love this quote I found on Pinterest!

Hi A nanny of two and a mum of two adult children, mum to two fur babies and wife of one. I love to travel and up until recently travelled the world, now exploring Western Australia! I play bridge, board games, read dance and blog in my spare time.

  1. A great tour of buildings. I’m intrigued by the turf roof house in Iceland. Did you go inside? I wonder if the floor of the house is lower than ground level? Seems like it’d be a logical thing to do. Especially since all the Nordic folks I’ve ever met are very tall. 🙂

    1. We did go inside and it was very small and intriguingly they sat up in beds so the beds were small. They believed if you layed down you would die!

      1. Oh my! What a different world it must have been. I assume these are historic places & people don’t actually live in houses like that anymore.

  2. Not many things more interesting than an old building are there? They have so much character and provide a real link from the past, definitely shouldn’t knock so many down. Great photos Ali.
