We at Bored Panda have a sweet spot for questionable European properties. First, we had ugly Belgian houses, then Irish, and finally Dutch. Now, it's time to take a look down south.

Enter 'Ugly Spanish Houses.' As the name suggests, this Instagram account shares pictures of some of the most peculiar structures that you can find on the Iberian Peninsula.

From bizarre color combinations to asymmetrical facades, grab your virtual passport, and let's embark on a tour of the most intriguing architectural wonders that Spain has to offer.

    With all those windows it must be nice and light inside. (That was me trying to be a positive person.) Yuck! What were they thinking? (That was me being honest.)
