An architectural tour of the breathtaking Spanish countryside from Galicia to the Pyrenees. From the stone chalet-style houses dotting the green hillsides of the Basque region in the north to the pueblos blancos (white villages) of Andalucia in the south, this book explores the vernacular buildings that characterize each region of Spain. The enlightening text reveals how various conditions influenced each building style, while more than 150 specially commissioned color photographs show us Spanish style in all its diversity: farm buildings in rolling landscapes, tiny villages on the medieval pilgrim route from France to Spain, flower-filled inner courtyards of ancient estates, decorative details such as terracotta roof titles, elaborate wrought ironwork, and azulejos (painted decorative titles). The result is a visual extravaganza that will tempt visitors to step off the well-worn tourist path and venture into the “real” Spain. This book is perfect for anyone charmed by Spain or old houses.
