"Hórreo gallego" is a specific type of granary in Galicia and northern Portugal, an agricultural construction used to dry, season and store corn and other grains before shelling and grinding them.

Its construction can be made of stone or wood: in both cases it consists of an oblong storage chamber, narrow and permeable to the passage of air, separated from the ground to prevent the entry of humidity and animals.

In some areas, hórreos are known as horriu, horru (Asturian), horriu (Leonese), hurriu (Cantabrian), hórreo, paneira, canastro, piorno, cabazo (Galician), espigueiro, canastro, caniço, hôrreo (Portuguese), garea, garaia, garaixea (Basque)
