We walked to our local market this morning to buy a kilo of eggs and saw this house along the way.
Sometime during its life, it was split into five smaller houses (two on either side of the corner unit). Divisions like this exist all over Mérida and have resulted in many long, thin houses - some no more than 5m wide and 50 to 60m long.
When looking to buy, most of the houses we saw under 100k (USD) were between 6 and 10 meters wide. We told ourselves anything under 10m was too skinny and we weren’t going to buy it. Turns out we changed our minds. Ours is 9m.
