One Man's Work: The Carved Stone House of Lino Bueno

Casa de Piedra, a rupestrian dwelling hewn from local granite, stands in Alcolea del Pinar, Spain. Constructed over two decades by Lino Bueno using a pick and iron bars, it is a testament to his personal dedication. Completed in 1928, Casa de Piedra was later turned into a museum under the management of the Ayuntamiento of Alcolea del Pinar. The dwelling's facade features a main entrance, a door to the cochiquera, a ground-floor window, and an upper balcony. A veranda on the right leads to a lateral courtyard where a water basin is located, providing access to the stable and other windows. Visited by notable figures such as General Primo de Rivera and King Alfonso XIII in 1928, as well as Kings Juan Carlos and Sofía in 1978, Casa de Piedra has become a significant national monument.
