Since this house sitting is voluntary, it may seem silly to characterise the Casa as a prison ... but the picture might give that impression ... it's a theme explored before with expat life ... when the fear forces such security that the inmates create their own jail ... as it turns out, the insurance companies play a part, though it has been noted that fixed bars like these protect property whilst undermining personal safety in case of fire ... different department perhaps ...
And fences, alarms, bars, dogs all reinforce the fear ... call it in ... luckily here at the Casa the roof terrace gives a feeling of freedom, the fences are few and Poppy the ancient cat is not aggressive. ..
Maybe the house had need of some security in the past. .. valuables to protect and children too ... some activity bordering on illegality. .. attracting not just police but also other players in the game ...

All is peaceful now ... the bars mostly ignored ... and if I owned the place (purely hypothetical )?
There would be no bars ...
