Caves of Valeron, Archaeological granary site in Santa María de Guía, Gran Canaria, Spain.
The complex features over 300 interconnected storage silos carved into volcanic rock formations at different levels along steep cliffs.
Indigenous inhabitants of Gran Canaria constructed this extensive network of grain storage chambers between 500 and 1500 CE.
The granary system demonstrates advanced agricultural knowledge and communal organization of pre-Hispanic societies in the Canary Islands.
Visitors can explore the site from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00, with guided tours available for groups exceeding ten people.
Natural properties of volcanic tuff rock maintained constant temperature and humidity levels, creating optimal conditions for long-term grain preservation.
