Near the square of the Cruz del Llano, is this one-story building probably built during the eighteenth century, where clear characteristics of the rural architecture of the moment are shown. Its main facade remains open to the historic Isabel II street, currently called La Libertad, whose pathway genes correspond to an ancient aboriginal transhumant road that joins the summit and the coast of the G Mar Valley.
This street connects the Plaza de San Juan Degollado with the old Plazuela del Llano, and through it came much of the public and economic life of Arafo running in both directions the cars that communicated this population with the rest of the regions of the island. In it during the 19th and 20th centuries new buildings were erected that housed public functions (casinos, town hall ...) that coexisted with the historic buildings dedicated to the agricultural holdings so present in the municipality.

Housing located on the corner of Libertad Street with Capit n Le n. House of a unique plant in the facades, but that has in the back a series of later annexes, but of great interest of two heights.
The house is made of walls embossed with larger blocks on the sides to give cohesion, and collected externally by a lime mortar.
Its main front is rectangular, adapted to the orography itself, with two irregularly placed openings, while the side is a blind wall resting on the rough.
The door is formed by a double leaf, made with frames and top shutters opening inwards. The window is guillotine type with a fixed part with bearings.
It has a cover to three waters realized with curved tile and finished off with two rows of inverted tiles.
In the rear part, a double height annex appears, made with large blocks or in the cross corners as a zipper, with a rectangular plan.
It has a balcony on the second floor and an exterior wooden staircase to access the flat roof of this module.
In addition to these, there are other small constructions that were probably corrals.
