During the Modern Age it was common for dwellings to grow according to the needs and economic possibilities of the inhabitants of the house. On occasions, the basic structure of the home was too small to introduce divisions, so these were built in areas attached to it. The photograph that serves as an example is of an oven kitchenette, located in Lechina, near the municipality of Munera (Albacete). This kitchen has walls of stone and mud masonry with a gabled roof with Arabic tiles. A plain wooden door was chosen for the entrance. There are no other openings, such as windows, except for the oven chimney.
