In this hotel and restaurant, there are a lot of things that you can see and take photos: hórreo, fountain, tree swing, fountains, photo cut out...
This is a sample of hórreos (cabaceiros, canastros, piornos... lot of names) which are elevated constructions in which grain, flour, ham, sausages were stored ... The reason for being elevated is that this way the rodents climbed by the feet and when they reached the top and turned upside down, they fell. The "hórreos" in Galicia, etc. are examples of Atlantic constructions that there are in countries of this ocean or of Celtic traditions.
This hórreo is reformed and adapted to other thing. The walls are made of glass, not wood or stone (that horreos have). And into the hórreo there are chairs and table. It is a good idea that some people in they houses had, because convert the hórreo in living room and you can see good overviews.
