The picturesque buildings of the Alpujarras are one of the most typical features of the Alpujarras landscape.
The houses are of a cubic shape with a flat roof, typical of an area of low rainfall, and round chimneys.
The cover is made of fauna, magnesium clay that is impermeable to rain and has a roof of stone. These terrae
which now often function as driers have a kind of hood, almost a cylindrical fireplace, topped by a small slab.
In many cases there are steps that bridge the gap between a house and the roof of another, so the street is covered.
