Episode published on Tuesday 9th of January, 2007.
I spent way too long over-analysing the beginning of RE4, but the town planning (not the architecture like Pain says) really was peculiar. It seemed like a bit of a trek to get to the church from the main village area. I suspect it was just the need for all the locals to find a way around all those invisible walls blocking them from walking over the surrounding hills.
The fact that you had to go through a house, or more specifically someone's kitchen area, in order to get to the underground bypass implies that there was once someone living there who was used to their neighbours strolling through. I'd tell them to go take a hike, personally.
Don't even get me started on the water treatment plant you reach by climbing down a ladder inside a well...

Title - 30: "Occupant Sin 4"
Subtitle - xi. "TP"
(There is a montage of events as Pain monologues from the future.)
Pain (monologuing): We spent a good hour or two searching for a way forward.
(The montage shows the Captain kicking open a door to one of the village's homes, and then smashing another door off of its hinges using a small log as a battering ram. Then we see the Captain up on the roof of a house, shrugging at Pain who is looking down from the top of a bell tower. The montage ends with the Captain showing a ladder that leads down into a cellar to Pain inside one of the houses.)
Pain (monologuing): Eventually, through the Captain's brilliant method of breaking in to every building that didn't reek of faeces, we found a way up further into the village.
(The scene changes to a small time later, where Pain is leaving room containing a well.)
Pain: The architecture around here is weird. We had to go through a house and a mineshaft just to get to the church!
(The Captain appears from the well, climbing a ladder.)
Captain: There aren't any toilets around here either.
Pain: You saw the state of some of the houses around here, people just shit on the floor...and on the walls...and on the tables. Although it's hard to tell if they did that before or after going stark raving mad. Maybe it's a cultural thing.
Captain: ...I'm going to go take a dump in those bushes.
Pain: Charming.
(The Captain enters the bush and is pulling his trousers down when a hand reaches from behind and surprises him, causing him to release his bowels. The hand is clutching a roll of toilet paper.)
Captain: AAGH!
SFX: PRRRT!
(The Captain looks over his shoulder, trousers still lowered under his butt, at the owner of the arm. It is a figure in a green coat wearing a purple veil and a backpack.)
Captain: ...Lucky I was ready, or that could've been messy!
Episode tagline: You know, that's a probably the one thing the Resident Evil merchant didn't sell that everybody really needed. He missed out on a niche in the rural Spanish market, that's for sure.
