Cortijo is the name of the "farmhouses" in Andalucia (Spain). In each rural area of Spain, the big rural houses (farmhouses) are different. In Andalucia they are "cortijos", in Cataluña "masías", in the Pais Vasco "caserios", in Valencia "barracas", etc.. Naturally, each one has its own design features.

But I'm sorry to say that I don't know if the word "cortijo" is used in Mexico
