You've seen the narrow sidewalks. What about the narrow streets? Most of the streets in the Centro histórico are narrow and one way. Many don't allow parking. So what do you do with your coche(s)?
You park them inside your house and put a "no parking" sign on the door of your cochera. Some signs say "please don't," others threaten to deflate your tires if you park in front. Now imagine you have to take your coche out of your cochera. You unlock and open the door of the cochera. You wait for a break in traffic. You back out and then you have to get out of your coche, blocking traffic while you lock up your cochera. (Not many houses have automatic garage door openers). Los Jubilados count the times every day that they're happy not to have a coche. We are also looking for a house without a cochera.
Although we did look at this cochera-burdened house that's for sale.
And we are about to look at this one.
