This print captures the essence of rural life in Minho, Portugal. Standing tall and proud against the picturesque backdrop of Serra da Cabreira mountain range, a big granary (espigueiro) takes center stage. Its purpose is simple yet vital - to store corn away from the mischievous mice that roam these lands. Located in Carrazedo, Cabeceiras de Basto, this traditional granary showcases the unique architecture and heritage of this charming village. Made entirely of granite, it stands as a testament to the region's rich history and agricultural traditions. As you gaze at this tranquil scene, you can almost feel the tranquility that permeates through every stone. The peacefulness is further enhanced by a loyal dog resting nearby, keeping watch over this historic site. The intricate stonework and meticulous craftsmanship make this espigueiro a true work of art. It serves not only as a functional storehouse for cereals but also as an emblematic symbol of Portuguese culture. With its rustic charm and idyllic setting, Carrazedo invites travelers to immerse themselves in its authentic ambiance. This hidden gem beckons those seeking an escape from bustling city life to experience the simplicity and beauty found within its streets.
