La casa en Mendavia [Houses in Mendavia]

Abstract

"Pueblo" (Village), the "Eras" (Allotments) and the "Calvario" (Calvary). There are several ancestral houses in the oldest part of the "Villa", and some in the square (now demolished) and one in Calle de la Virgen. The other buildings reflect a range of types of less architectural importance. The new buildings are modern designs.
The article describes an ancestral home, houses belonging to small farmers, labourers and fishermen, and a detailed study of a self-sufficient house with allotment, stable and poultry run, as well as the old power station and a number of shelters and huts in the country, the Imas Farm, cattle pound, etc. Home rites and prayers are also included.
