Favorite Calatrava in Category thread
I thought it migh be a good idea to start with the Category of Calatrava. A thread to discuss the merits of those Calatrava's we like the best.Remember there are no winners and there certainly are no losers.Just a discussion of which Calatrava's we like and why.Pictures are a must whenever possible, remember it's awfully hard to discuss the beauty of something without a picture.There are 26 models in this category, who would like to start?
