Many of the beautiful traditional wooden houses in the Philippines and around Biliran Province have sliding shutter windows that rather than glass, have Capiz shell windowpanes. The Oyster or Capiz shells have been used in windows even during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines as glass would have been too expensive for most people to use.
Almeria has some amazing old traditional wooden houses around its streets.
This is the river that cuts straight through the middle of the town, and is crossed by about three bridges.
In the middle of Almeria town beside the sea you will find the large roofed Gym or Plaza. This is used for Almeria Municpality events, but is also used most day as a basketball court.
