Close to the city of Pontevedra on the west coast of Galicia in Spain is the unique village of Combarro. The historic quarter of Combarro has been declared a Property of Cultural Interest and is often quoted as being one of the most beautiful villages in Spain.
Walking along the small narrow streets lined with stone you can see some interesting Galician houses with tiny gardens, old stone crosses and the unique granaries or hórreos.
The many hórreos or raised granaries are scattered across the village. These distinct constructions are characteristic of Galicia. The stone buildings, raised on stone pillars, stayed dry and kept mice out, they were used to store food and grains. About 60 traditional granaries, are distributed around the village, 30 of these are situated on the shores of the Pontevedra estuary.
