Tenerife Country Housing in 1910

How do you fancy this for a "country retreat"? There are still examples of these campesinos (country folk or peasants') cottages in remote and mountainous areas of Tenerife. Perhaps with a few more facilities, like water and electricity, these days than almost 100 years ago, but even many more modern homes in rural areas are based on the form of these, usually, two room dwellings, with outside loo and other rooms added, a coat of plaster over the stones and maybe the roof flattened.
