Spanish bathrooms.
The traditional Spanish bathroom derives its appearance from its Mediterranean location and is influenced by countries such as Italy, Greece and Turkey. The centre piece would be the bath itself and can be found set in a surround shaped like a four poster bed, sometimes in a stone alcove complete with window to the courtyard. More modest baths would be free standing tubs made of Iron or brass, complete with rustic taps.

More recent visitors to Spain who are keen to make up for lost time might prefer the all singing all dancing power shower to the leisurely bath but still leave room for the more traditional artefacts to decorate the room. Terracotta tiles and the use of bold red, yellow and orange hues put the finishing touches to the scene.

Now that is interesting because I thought it was on the right because that is the way that most gentlemen dress.

Philip. You are such a mine of information. Really,really useful information. Russia and Ukraine are so minor in interest compared to the above.

You might be right there dear when you consider how few individuals contribute to those two subjects.
