The essential detail of these granaries - standing on stilts - is the flat, plate- or lid-shaped end at the upper end of the supporting columns. This was of vital importance in ancient times, as they represent an insurmountable obstacle for voracious rodents such as mice and thus protect the harvest that has been brought in.

Hiking

A small ensemble of traditional Galician architecture. All that's missing is a hearty refreshment stop for thirsty hikers... The climb is truly challenging!
