Along the roads, you frequently encounter these unique, old stone structures. But what exactly are these ancient grain barns, and why do you see them so often in Galicia?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is an Horr\u00e9o?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An horr\u00e9o is a typical granary constructed from stone and wood. They are often over 100 years old, with a history that dates back even further than 1000 years. Horr\u00e9os are not just historical buildings; they are also symbols of Galicia&#8217;s traditional agricultural culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Characteristic of an horr\u00e9o is that the storage area is above ground, typically supported by stone pillars. This is the most typical image of the Galician horr\u00e9o. Sometimes the bottom is also sealed with stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an horr\u00e9o is typically stored  grain, vegetables, and corn. The reason for this unique storage is twofold, it provides protection against both rodents and the moist ocean air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Find Galician Horr\u00e9os?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Horr\u00e9os are found in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, not only in Galicia but also in Northern parts of Portugal and other Spanish provinces such as Asturias, Le\u00f3n, Cantabria, and the Basque Country. However, they are very rare in the latter, more eastern locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Horr\u00e9os in Galicia are primarily elongated. In Asturias and further east, they often have a square shape. In the east of Galicia, square horreos can also be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are still around 30,000 horreos in Galicia, much more than in other areas. There are around 10,000 in Asturias and 300 in Le\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Most Famous and Largest Horreos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Most Famous: Horr\u00e9o of Carnota<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most famous and visited horr\u00e9o in Galicia is undoubtedly the Horr\u00e9o of Carnota. Carnota is a coastal town on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galiciatips.com\/en\/destinations\/costa-da-morte-coast-of-death\/\">Costa da Morte<\/a> near <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galiciatips.com\/en\/destinations\/a-coruna\/\">A Coru\u00f1<\/a>a. The horr\u00e9o of Carnota is almost 35 meters long, making it a very remarkable specimen. It consists of 22 pairs of supporting pillars and has three doors. The horreo is also very old, built in 1768. It has been declared a national monument, undoubtedly an exemplary horr\u00e9o and therefore much visited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"678\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.galiciatips.com\/en\/horreos-the-traditional-granaries-of-galicia\/horreo_carnota\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.galiciatips.com\/en\/files\/2024\/04\/Horreo_Carnota.jpeg?fit=1280%2C960&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1280,960\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;FinePix S5000&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1181387687&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.7&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00147058823529&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Horreo_Carnota\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.galiciatips.com\/en\/files\/2024\/04\/Horreo_Carnota.jpeg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.galiciatips.com\/en\/files\/2024\/04\/Horreo_Carnota.jpeg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.galiciatips.com\/en\/files\/2024\/04\/Horreo_Carnota-1024x768.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.galiciatips.com\/en\/files\/2024\/04\/Horreo_Carnota.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.galiciatips.com\/en\/files\/2024\/04\/Horreo_Carnota.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.galiciatips.com\/en\/files\/2024\/04\/Horreo_Carnota.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.galiciatips.com\/en\/files\/2024\/04\/Horreo_Carnota.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Longest: Horr\u00e9o do Ara\u00f1o<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the town of Rianxo stands the largest horreo.

Here, gathered together, are 34 horr\u00e9os. All the horr\u00e9os are the same. They are wooden structures supported by stone pillars and covered with local tiles.

Often they are on private property, and you cannot simply walk up to them. Depending on where you are in Galicia, you can visit one of the above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get a typical view, you can also go to the coastal town of Combarro. There you will find some horreos near the sea. These horr\u00e9os overlook the sea. A walk along these horr\u00e9os is highly recommended.
