This last one isn't a door, but it is an entrance to the seating area of Montevideo's Estadio Centenario where Uruguay won the first Football World Cup in 1930. How good is this deco plaque celebrating that achievement.

Club Biguá de Villa Biarritz, Montevideo

Club Biguá de Villa Biarritz, Montevideo

I can't remember what we saw first, the market or the modernist stadium. In any case we were close to our destination so it was worth getting off the bus and to have a stroll around the market stalls and take in the Club Biguá de Villa Biarritz.
