Guided tour of Arcos de la Frontera

These Walls Have Ears!

Where you are standing now

As you walk around the corner notice that the walls are scooped out on either side of the windows. It wasn't so long ago that women rarely ventured out of the house, but these 'window ears' at least gave them a good view of what was going on in the street. And the younger ladies could get chatted up by willing suitors, who would lean up against the wall. When you come to visit us ask about the scoops on the windows that we have here at Casa Campana - they have a unique feature, found nowhere else in Arcos de la Frontera!
