The upper space holds a sample of grinding rodas (wheels) or molas (millstones). Some pieces are foot-operated and are placed in a wooden trough that was filled with water to prevent heating and to facilitate abrasion.

Under the corridor, along with a collection of different models of wheelbarrows and carts, the working tools of the canteiro (stonemason), one of the most important trades in the rural world, are on display.
