Recordist's notes
The Virgen de la Torre neighborhood was designed in 1956. Its yellow houses are low-rise, two or three stories high, in linear blocks with ground floor dwellings, uniform proportions, simple facades, and gabled roofs that give them a character somewhere between rural and urban. The repetitive building system creates a sequence of squares and gardens of great value.
