The name of this site has long been misleading, suggesting that it was a kind of convent where young noble women were cared for by priestesses until their marriage. This hypothesis has now been completely ruled out. It is in fact a very imposing collective granary, dug more than 800 years ago by the Aborigines. A total of 350 cavities, arranged on several levels to shelter cereals, the main resource of Gran Canaria. A circuit has been set up along this fortress, with explanatory panels and watchtowers.

Visite super intéressant dans un grenier Guanche. Pas indispensable mais je recommande un petit détour.

Le grenier de Gran Canaria
Dans ce site archéologique typique, les Canariens engrangeaient leurs récoltes. De multiples greniers de formes variées permettaient de garder au sec les précieux grains. Le Cenobio est construit sur un promontoire, ce qui protégeait les propriétaires du pillage. De multiples explications sont données sur le long du petit parcours, essentiellement en pente. L’accueil est particulièrement gentil : on nous remet des cartons d’informations en plusieurs langues, notamment en français. Des travaux de réfection en cours attestaient du soin apporté à ce lieu nommé bien culturel du pays. De là-haut, des paysages à couper le souffle.
