Piornedo is a village located in Sierra de Ancares, a mountain range in the province of Lugo. It is a unique place not only for the impressive views but for the well preserved ancient huts that are a crucial part of this village. Pallozas are circular stone huts with a conical roof of straw. They are supposed to be of Celtic origin (the way they are built and the materials are similar to those used for over 20 centuries).
Ā When you go inside one of this Celtic huts you feel a little intimidated as you try to recreate the way of living inside this small structures. The interior consists of a room, a kitchen and a stable, yes, animals lived there too! There were no dividing walls, just an open space.
Preservation of these huts is a great challenge as it is not an easy or cheap task and there are not many people who know how to do it. I highly recommend you visit both Piornedo and Sierra de Ancares for an unforgettable experience.
