In 1994, Mr. Antonio Marcos Rodriguez founded “Los
Patios” apartments. Formally a family housing
known as “The Perera House” and later
demolished and rebuilt as an apartment complex.
23 families used to live on “The Perera
House”, where they shared facilities and
everyday shores such as the use of their community
patios, laundry area, and the animal shelter –
horses and donkeys used to be their only transportation
-. There was also a charcoal shop where the actual
“Patio de Carlota la Bailla” now exists,
which was formally owned by this lady.
Antonio Marcos used to live on the “The
Perera House”. He was born and raised there
with his parents, brothers and sisters. 20 years
later, he wanted to preserve and beautified the
“patios” where he grew up. He kept
the structure of the exterior, patios and hallways,
incorporating typical Andalusian tiles all over.
The apartments were totally rebuilt and adapted
to nowadays commodities, thou they still preserve
the beauty of its past.
The actual patios are called after some old neighbors
of “The Perera House”. “Patio
Regla la fandanga”, “Patio de Maria
Barba”, “Patio de Manuela Teresa Ramona
(Barrilete)” and “ Patio de Carlota
la Bailla”, this last one in memory of the
founder’s mother Mrs. Carlota Rodriguez
