    Tips

    The typical houses of La Mancha in Las Pedroñeras and the surrounding region feature a very distinctive architecture, characterized by functionality and adaptation to the climate and agricultural life.
    Traditional materials: They were built with rammed earth (compacted mud) and adobe bricks mixed with straw. The roofs were made with poles, reeds, and plaster, and reinforced with green esparto grass ropes.
    White facades and indigo baseboards: The whitewash served to keep the houses cool and disinfect the walls, while the indigo blue on the baseboards and frames had both a functional and superstitious origin (to ward off insects and evil spirits).

      La Mancha architecture has been influenced by the Romans and Arabs throughout its history. And, although the quality of the constructions and the materials have been changing, there is an element that continues perennially. It is the Manchego patio, an outdoor space around which the house is articulated.

      The colors par excellence in La Mancha are white and blue.
