Granaries of Soajo

I loved this area. It's a lovely area for some serious hiking. These tomb like grain storage units are very interesting

This is so lovely ❤
The sensation of being in touch with our history... Love this place ❤

Very interesting nice stone granaries. Great for a quick stop in the area. We didn't spend more than 20 minutes here but it was well worth it!

Absolutely fantastic, check the video on 'Milda goes wild', a must see site, really unique and you'll see more of these granaries is you drive around the area too. Free entry and parking.

This group of 24 granaries consisting of a central common threshing ground and the peripheral granaries made of granite and on top of a mother rock outcrop. the oldest granary is from the 1782. They are still in use, mostly as corn storages.

Soajo is a pretty, little village, located in Arcos de Valdevez, well-known for its unique “Espigueiros”. It's a beautiful place to admire the traditional architecture.

One of the few places in Portugal that have these "contraptions" to preserve the cereals from rodents, floods and other animals, throughout the seasons. They also have a dig breed typical of this region. Beautiful place

A bit of trekking and climbing to get there but the stone granaries are great. You can take cool pics!

Romantic looking piece of history. Granaries are everywhere in this area, but here, on this place not only few, but dozen or two :) Just amazing view! One piece of rural architecture what is typical for North Portugal only.

Interesting place, getting to know about old agriculture techniques

Impressive stone crop storage. A bit more aesthetic than our grain silos in the Midwest USA :) we saw people struggling to climb the rocks at the front of the site , but just walk around to the back for an easy incline. I will caution this site is relatively remote, so expect some mountain driving.

Fantastic stone granaries.
Great walking trails from the village.

Very interesting place.

Historical place, beyond a great sightseeing scenario.
Granaries are old places to storage corn, and have a special protection system against mice.

Probably more beautiful then their counterpart just a few minutes away. Definitely worth visiting. Free campervan car park with great views nearby

The way to the Granaries ot Soajo is really nice,

An iconic spot in Portugal

Magical experience of old world days with beautiful stone built houses, charming scenery and blooming hydrangeas amidst mountainous valleys. Must visit

A magical place, very nice for taking panoramic pictures

Nice place with cool history!
