Love is blind, but sometimes it can see the colours...;-)

Albarracín (Teruel, Spain)

This blue house is called 'La Casa de los Navarro de Arzuriaga'. It's the only house in Albarracín that really has a different style.
It was built in the XVII century and was transformed by the Navarro family, that was the richest family of that zone. As you can see, the house is complitely different than the rest of houses, with a look more similar to the southern spain houses.
There is a nice history that explains that: A member of the Navarro family felt in love with a woman that came from the south of Spain. She dind't want to live in Albarracín, because he was missing her native land. As a result of that, he decided to transform and decorate the house, making it similar to the houses that she liked in the south of Spain. He did it and she was so surprised that she finally decided to stay in Albarracín. So, the house was changed...for love!
