Our opinion
Few houses can show off their own foundations at dinner time. This one displays them beneath an illuminated glass panel, in the middle of a dining room seating fifteen. They were discovered during excavations required as part of the planning permission process. Having dug down to the original floor level, the archaeologists also unearthed a staircase dating from the Moorish period and a mural, now protected under glass along the upstairs gallery. The restoration was guided by these findings and has restored the house to its 1520 layout. The patio, paved with pebbles and enclosed by whitewashed walls, remains the centrepiece. The wooden galleries, supported by carved corbels, surround it and lead to three bedrooms. The University of Granada has praised the result, even though it all began with a simple administrative procedure.
