    In rural areas of Galicia it is common to see hórreos like this one. They are traditional constructions destined to store and dry the grain. They are raised to keep the grain away from soil moisture and out of reach of possible animals.

    Finally solved! These are corn stores. You see them often in the area.

    An hórreo is a typical granary from the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, built in wood or stone, raised from the ground by pillars ending in flat staddle stones to prevent access by rodents. Ventilation is allowed by the slits in its walls. Hórreos are mainly found in Spain (Galicia and Asturias) and Northern Portugal. There are two main types of hórreo, rectangular-shaped and square-shaped. The oldest document containing an image of an hórreo is the Cantigas de Santa Maria by Alfonso X “El Sabio” from the 13th century.
