Description: Casa El Pósito stands out among all small houses of the village for its beauty and size. Resembling a "manor" house, it was used to keep the spare corn that was later sorted out when the sortage came. This happened back in the history at least as far as the XVI century. Now, the house has been restored for turistic use without resting its authenticity. It has two stories so that the kitchen-dining room occupies a comon space and keeps a rustic atmosphere with a modern functional sense. The walls has been kept simply whitewashed, so that dark carpentry of windows and big wooden door of entrance, together with floors and ceilings make up a whole strong two-colour contrast.
There is a large confortable, simply and attractive saloon where the old furniture combines with modern functionality. Two large double bedrooms with two spare beds as well occupy the downstairs, both equiped with own bathrooms; both rooms have access to the surrounding ground of the house.![]() |  |
