"Las Calas will win your love at first sight" This noble house, the origin of which goes back to 1800, is situated 3 kilometres away from La Vega de San Mateo heading towards Tejeda, in the hamlet Caserío de La Lechuza. In Las Calas all the structural elements have been chosen in harmony with the architectural tradition of the area. The stone and the wood distil the rustic essence of the classical and the timeless, with ethnic brushstrokes of far-away cultures such as the Arab culture, present in the bas-reliefs and latticework of doors and windows and the rotundity of African art in the numerous sculptures that punctuate the lounges. The niches and masonry work furniture adapt themselves to the walls with great naturalness because of their rustic appearance, like the toasted yellow tone, the same as that which covered the original building more than two centuries ago. |
