OLA ! and Thank you Cristine for this unusual card .. it is very interesting what you have written here about these "Espigueiros"  of Soajo. These Stone buildings to be found here are to dry the thick maize .The maize requires it to be harvested in Autumn and these buildings allow the maize to be aired as much as possible as to dry in the oncoming winter...Thank you so much again Cristine for this really informative card.
What a shame it is now to see more often these "cranked" stamps for postage.
