Portones blancos y grandes

These are our garage doors (portones blancos). Since there are no house numbers and people don't use street names, we use the garage doors to identify where we live -- the big garage doors on the right (it's a one way street, so at least they're always on the right). We have the one second from the left and it is a tight squeeze to get our big Trooper in the door. There are 4 apartments in our building so each apartment gets 1 garage and thereīs one extra (one of our neighbors just got a second car so now itīs theirs). Actually 2 of the couples donīt own a car at all so those spots are always empty. To get to our apartments, you go through the garage and up a flight of steps out the back. There is a nice little yard there, behind all the bushes you see in the picture.
