derelict panera

Hórreos are traditional grain stores on stilts, usually with just one internal storage space - though the balconies and external walls also hold produce or articles that are being stored. Paneras are the same thing, adapted by extended floors, extra legs, and a ridged roof, to house storage spaces for more than one user - quite often several. In this photo you can see two doors at the "good" end of the structure, so I´d expect there would be several more at the end that´s gone. 
This panera in the photo is in the village of Arriondu, Cabranes. The photo shows a long-based  panera of which one  storage end has completely rotted away - though the base remains. The base at the "good" end looks solid from this angle but in fact you can see, under the cross beam at the far end, a couple of metal poles supporting the broken cross beam. 
I´m showing the structure here for the derelict challenge. There are some other views of it at https://www.flickr.com/photos/don-roger/54203448326/in/photostream/
Extra 1 shows what I think is a rather attractive window, in another derelict building, a house, a minute or two´s walk away from the panera. I did think of showing the window as my dereliction entry, but settled for the panera. 
Sadly, quite a lot of Arriondu´s in a similar state. 
I´m adding, for anyone interested, another extra, which is a photo of Santolaya, seen from Arriondu. You can see a small part of my house, to the right of and above the church, but most of it´s hidden by another building.
