The pallozas of O Cebreiro
The pallozas are constructions of Celtic origin and circular shape characteristic of the mountains of the Iberian Peninsula, adapted as dwellings to the climate of the area. Made of stone and protected by a peculiar multi-layered thatched roof, they resist the most insistent rain and even the thickest snow. In them, families and their animals were sheltered for warmth, they kept their farming tools and, in short, they lived their lives in winter.
