MAJAELRAYO, GUADALAJARA CASTILE, SPAIN - MARCH 18: Several houses in Majaelrayo, on 18 March, 2023 in Majaelrayo, Guadalajara, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. Black architecture is a type of popular architecture that uses slate as the main element, a technique used mainly in the Natural Park of the Sierra Norte de Guadalajara because slate is an abundant material and because the isolation and difficult communication of the area did not allow access to other building materials.
