One of the reconstructed elements that can be visited in the Neolithic Park of La Draga is an oval-shaped barn, similar to those used by the former inhabitants. The walls are made of a mixture of mud and straw and the roof is made of plant elements, while the floor consists of simple paving. Several baskets containing some of the cereals and fruits consumed in the village, such as wheat, acorns and hazelnuts, can be viewed inside. There is also the replica of a hand-powered mill, by means of which flour was obtained.
