Along the way, you'll find many beautiful granaries built from a variety of materials. These are typical of Galicia and beautiful to look at.

Hórreos: Galicia's Corn Stores
In Galicia, grain was traditionally stored in granaries, called "horreos." They are raised and sometimes built on stilts to protect against mice. These small but striking structures are strictly protected and considered lucky charms, which is why they are still occasionally built as ornaments next to new buildings.
