Espigueiro


Nort of Portugal, MINHO...my new "home town" :)
ESPIGUEIRO (or Canastro; Caniço). Property of Public Interest - IPPAR.
Made of stone and wood, based on granite;
The oldest date of 1782;
They have the task of drying the corn through lateral cracks also prevents the animals to eat; As the corn must be harvested in the autumn, this needs to be sde as airy as possible to dry during the winter.
