We at Bored Panda have a sweet spot for questionable European properties. First, we had ugly Belgian houses, then Irish, and finally Dutch. Now, it's time to take a look down south.

Enter 'Ugly Spanish Houses.' As the name suggests, this Instagram account shares pictures of some of the most peculiar structures that you can find on the Iberian Peninsula.

From bizarre color combinations to asymmetrical facades, grab your virtual passport, and let's embark on a tour of the most intriguing architectural wonders that Spain has to offer.

With all those windows it must be nice and light inside. (That was me trying to be a positive person.) Yuck! What were they thinking? (That was me being honest.)

It's a gable end, perfectly normal for it not to have windows, windows and doors are on the front and back

No the balcony is level with the front of the roof, it's the wall behind the balcony that's skewed.

Like its proportions... Different door (and a fresh coat of paint) would make a big difference.

The angle of the roof/windows is off... I would have let the porch overhang farther and benefitted more from the shade

It'd be a good house if there is a good view. But if it's a railway yard or a factory, not so good.

Looks like a river or lakeview at the back. I'm sure there are large windows back there. Getting a little picky imo.

Some seriously tiny windows on the right. To block sun from making it too hot?

Those are actually common in Spain. It's only for lightning and ventilation purposes.

Ventilation? wouldn't just opening the window/door provide the same ventilation (if not more) . or am I missing something?

It's a Juliet Balcony. 🙄 The person criticising this is just being far too picky. This style is common in the whole of Europe.

They are called Juliet balconies - an excuse for doors, which are bigger than the window that would have gone there.

Large potted plant on it so not fake. Not big enough for table chairs but still useful.

This was not originally a house. The garage doors have a ramp, that's indicative of truck access. Also, the cars are parked next to the building. This is/was a commercial building.

Looks like they built along the existing roads, nothing weird here. That land was probably expensive, bulding square house would be a waste of space and look even weirder given the placement.

Because it is not meant too? Big windows = hot in summer, or keep the curtains/blinds closed all day so why place them there?
