Unit 8: The House, Food, and Place Settings Overview In Spanish cities, many houses are built so close together that there is no space between each house, kind of like townhouses. Most are built in a row with no front yard. The houses usually have a patio or un patio. This is an open, uncovered area which is usually paved with tile. The patio can be viewed from almost any room room in the house, so it is decorated for such viewing with a variety of colorful flowers, plants, and sometimes birds.

La casa (The House) In large Spanish cities and towns, most people live in apartments (apartamentos ). People who live outside the downtown area often build houses in which to live. However, they are not like the houses we have in the United States. There is no large front or back yard. Instead, the house is built around an open area called el patio (the patio), where there are usually flowers and a fountain. This way, the family can enjoy the view from any room in the house and still have privacy. The tiles used on Spanish houses are usually red. There is also a wrought-iron balcony and grids on the windows. These wrought-iron grids are generally placed only on the outside windows of the bottom floor of the house for protection while allowing the homeowners to enjoy the fresh air. In “olden” days, before a boy was able to date, he courted the girl by talking with her through the grids on the windows. This custom was called comer hierro (eating iron). After a while, he could then be introduced to the girl’s parents. See the illustration on the following page to get an idea of a typical floor plan in a Spanish home.
