Hut, "Barraca" typical building in Ebro delta, near a rice field in Riet Vell, Amposta, Ebro Delta, Natural Park, Spain
The hut is a typical building in Ebro delta. The building is rectangular, about nine by five meters, with a pronounced triangular roof angle to drain torrential rainfall so typical of this area, with a ridge perpendicular to the input (usually facing south) which is located in one of the smaller sides. La distribución es siempre parecida: una puerta en la fachada sur que da acceso a un amplio pasillo que recorre toda la edificación hasta la fachada norte, donde se habilita otra puerta que permite la circulación de aire. Distribution is always similar: a door on the south side which gives access to a wide corridor that runs along the building to the north side, which enables another door that allows air circulation. Este pasillo es utilizado como cocina, comedor y almacén. This hall is used as a kitchen, dining room and warehouse. En la otra crujía se habilitan los dormitorios, habitualmente tres. On the other dorm bedrooms are enabled, usually three. Al piso superior se accede mediante una escalera de mano y antiguamente era utilizado para la cría del gusano de seda. The upper floor is accessed via a ladder and was formerly used for raising silkworms .
