Domestic architecture with a vacation use, in which the elegant influences of Neutra and the Californians can be appreciated. But the most important thing is that the architects knew how to understand the geographical reality of La Mancha, just as they absorb popular concepts, with the large porches, architectures with visual openings towards a limited, wooded space, and above all protected by the shading of the porch, as opposed to the square and small windows, which on the north face cause the necessary ventilation in summer, and create abstract and conceptual panels. Single-bay constructions, dense, thick walls and ceramic tile roofs, complete the cubic whiteness of these naves on the margins of the great Daimileño wetlands. A pentagon that closes the visual environment between holm oaks and collects a circular pool, geometrizes this free nature of the meadow. The architecture students go to Olot dazzled, but they do not know that in Daimiel there is a corner that concentrates an architectural treasure that the sixties left us on the peninsula.
