A year later we bought the house next to ours, and connected them both. This house wasn't a ruin, but needed a lot of TLC. Among other things, everything made out of wood was painted with thick layers of chocolate brown paint, and the walls had been painted with latex paint, which doesn't hold up to the climate. It should have been lime.
The location is the best though. In the winter time the sun reaches into the rooms to the front and warms them up. In the summer the sun is much higher.

We stripped wood, and we stripped wood, using a hot air gun and scrapers. And we repaired and replaced furniture and textiles.
Cútar is 4 hours from Tangier in Marocco, if you drive to the ferry. That's where the rug comes from.The iron bed frame we got at a store for used furniture in Velez-Malaga. When I went to get mattresses I hadn't measured the lengths, I thoought all beds where 2 meters just like in Sweden. It turned out they are all different here, and all are a bit shorter.
