Abstract


During the research study carried out in Galicia in which we try to analyze the integration of the agricultural buildings in the landscape, we have found a fact that exceeds, by far, what we could imagine: "there are thousands of popular buildings inserted in the landscape". This fact complicates the work, stimulating it at the same time. The study of all and each one of the popular buildings in, Begonte could be the subject of more than a book. That is why we have focused only on the water mills, of which there are 21 buildings preserved in this village. This also shows us the huge potential for a new use of those agricultural buildings existing in Begonte. There is one company, at least, devoted to give Begonte's water mills a new use.
