Galicia is also known for its hórreos. We have talked about these in other camino blogs. They are used for drying crops, such as corn, in rainy Galicia. They are build on stilts with little protrusions at the top of each leg to prevent mice, etc. from getting in and eating the corn. We love them and enjoy seeing them. Some are square like this one, some are rectangular, it depends on the local customs. It is unusual for one to have a thatched roof like this one. This one might have been decorative from the beginning and never really used.
