This type of structure will accompany you throughout your journey. The scales were used to store grain protected from rats. Each farm has such a granary, often they are lovingly decorated, but sometimes just about to collapse. Today they are mostly used for storing gardening tools etc. It is also interesting that the style of granaries changes from region to region.

In 1973, a decree of protection was approved by the Spanish State for all the old hórreos and cabazos existing in Galicia and Asturias, which attempted to halt the consequences of the abandonment of the rural way of life and the loss of the use of the horreos. Some of the Galician hórreos have the status of historical-artistic monuments, such as that of the presbytery of Santa Comba de Carnota, built in 1768, or the group of hórreos of Combarro.
