Mi Casa En Espana

The house where I live in Spain is really nice and I'll be giving you to a brief tour of it and point out some key differences.  So the picture below is a view of the outside of the apartment building where I live (its the black and white stripped one).

When you enter the house you'll immediately see the living room and dining room to the front.  They're both pretty stand for a living room and dining room.  One notable difference though is that they have a large glass table in front of the couch in the living room.  You might be thinking "coffee table",  but its much larger and higher than that.  It looks like a standard table you would eat from and thats because many of the families here eat some of their meals in front of the television.  My family doesn't and they actually rarely, if ever, spend time in the living room even though its really pretty and nicely designed.  

Heading to the left from the entrance you'll find the kitchen.  The small side table is where we eat all of our meals together.  This room is also pretty standard with no major differences except maybe for the electric stove burners that always make beeping sounds when you use it.  

Heading straight through the kitchen you'll find the laundry room.  They don't use dryers here due to it being soooo hot all the time so they hang their things up outside to dry.  Below is a picture of the open atrium between the buildings and you can see that they have clothes hung up on lines outside their windows.  This is a pretty big difference since we always use dryers and will typically never dry our clothes this way.  

Below is a picture of my bedroom!  Its pretty small and actually smaller than the one I have back home,but I like it.  Nothing too major going on here.  I have a night stand and small dresser that isn't in this photo because it was a little messy with all of my stuff.  

Below is the bathroom I share will by host brother.  This is also exceptionally small, but I'm really impressed with the way they utilized all of the space.    

Finally below is a picture of the spare room they have.  I love this room specifically because it has a large desk where I can study for exams or work on journals.  It also has a bed where I can lay down if I get too tired from studying lol.  Some rooms that aren't photographed for privacy's sake are my host brothers room and my host mom's bedroom and bathroom.  Both are decently big and really nice.  Thats actually where they spend most of their time as well.  My host mom has a tv in her room where she likes to relax and watch shows and my host brother is in love with online video games so hes always doing that in his room.  

So thats it!  Hopefully that gives you some insight into what spanish homes are like!
