Casa montañesa

It should not be confused with casona montañesa, which differs due to its grander style and incorporation of other features.

It highlights the south façade, open to the sun, with the other walls made of thick rough masonry.

The interior walls originally are usually made of wood, although in recent times have been replaced by brick.

It is a balcony run with wood rail protected from wind and rain by the overhanging roof and the projecting sidewalls.

The walls are usually topped by wooden trim pieces rough but of classic profiles, serving to support beams of the edge as securing the canes that form the overhang.
