The planting carries out the traditional use of ancient and twisted Olive trees, groups of Banana trees, and Oleanders beneath the bedroom windows. Wild Grape climbs one pillar; Castilian Roses another. Strings of red peppers hang from the rafters, ollas hang in cooling winds, and pots of blooming plants stand about in sociable groups or in prim little rows. There are deep-seated sun-seats in El Lugar de la Siesta (the place of the siesta) and a low, squat tea wagon copied after the style of the typical old ox carts.
