Spanish housing tends to be more congested than the US and Canada. They have a few Chalets (stand alone houses with a yard), lots of one or two story houses that share a common wall and have no yard, and apartment buildings.

The one and two story houses reach to the edge of the sidewalk, and the sidewalk goes directly to the curb. that means there is no bare soil capable of being planted on either side of the house, nor in front. Patios are within the four main walls and offer the only sunlight except whatever windows face the street. The back of the house backs up to the house behind it on the next street. Some roofs are tiled, most are flat concrete, and used to hang laundry, grow flowers and relax.

The majority of the apartments are in major urban areas, but the bulk of the rural people live in the one and two story houses in a village or small town and commute to their farms.
