The corn left a mark on the village
Vive Cabeceiras · Carrazedo · Bucos

In Carrazedo, the canasters tell an agricultural history.

Corn marked the economy of Carrazedo and left signs built: the canasters, also called granaries. The municipal guide gives the largest copy a capacity between 14 and 18 tonnes of maize. It is a dimension that helps to imagine the importance of keeping the harvest. This is the capacity referred to in the source, not the quantity currently stored. The photograph allows observing the construction. The municipal page of Bucos presents the Espigueiro da Casa de Fundevilla, in Carrazedo, among the elements of the heritage of the parish. The building makes visible a phase between harvest and milling: store the cereal. It is not a mill, nor does its capacity indicate how much corn a family would produce in a year. To follow the way of food, connect three places in the readings: the field where the cereal grows, the willow where it is stored and the mill where it is transformed. The sequence helps to perceive distinct functions without imagining that all the buildings presented belonged to the same holding.
