    Hiking

    A traditional construction to store and preserve food away from moisture and animals. It is characterized by being raised on pillars to prevent the entry of moisture and mice from the ground and by allowing ventilation through slots in the walls.

    Hiking

    The Camin Encantau route passes through several towns where you can enjoy traditional Asturian architecture, among other things, some beautiful granaries.

    Hiking

    The most important detail of these granaries - which are always deliberately built on stilts - is the flat, plate- or lid-shaped end at the top of the supporting columns. This special feature of the construction of the "horreos" was vitally important in ancient times: these elements represent an insurmountable obstacle for voracious rodents such as rats or mice, and thus protect the harvest from these uninvited guests.
