The rural world has been characterised by sober constructions with costly and durable materials. An example of this can be found in Vandelaras de Arriba, a living witness of historical survival. The photograph shows a stone and earth street with 3 houses in the background. These houses have stone masonry and rammed earth walls, with few windows and no chimneys. The roofs, placed over the chambers of the dwellings, are single-pitched and covered with tiles.
