It's manageable, but I found it extremely exciting to see how the Old Canarians stored their supplies.
They had silos on the cliffs and the grain remained undamaged for many years.
In this way, the first travelers who arrived in the archipelago recognized the importance of grain storage for an agrarian society as it lived on the island of Gran Canaria before the arrival of Europeans. Around thirty granaries have been found scattered across the island, ranging from simple holes in caves to complex systems of galleries and silos that occupy the interior of a mountain.
