The old town has the Hórreo(granary on stilts), the fisherman’s house and the Cruceiro (crucifix), which represent the three traditional architectural elements of Galicia.

The Hórreo(Espigueiro in Portuguese)are the same as those from the Soajo village in the Minho region of Portugal, which I visited earlier.

In Soajo Village, they are installed on a small hill, while in Combarro they are lined up along the coast.
