The architecture of the buildings during the Modern Age could be of different types. The photograph shown here is of a shed in Cañada Molina. In it we can see how numerous pine logs, placed at a distance of approximately 50 centimetres, are supporting strips of reeds placed perpendicularly on top of them. Small esparto grass ropes attached to both elements join them together to prevent the reeds from moving due to the force of the wind. The entire roof is supported by masonry walls, both in the perimeter areas and in the actual division of the shed. In this respect, there is also a small room formed by stone walls with a door in its highest part supported by a wooden plank to prevent the collapse of the wall immediately behind.
