The importance of wheat cultivation in the parish of Canillo has left us as a legacy a large number of private mills scattered throughout the parish.
The mills built were of the hydraulic type and used the force of the current of the rivers to turn the millstones.
Carrer Gran de Canillo follows the Montaup river and due to its steep slope is was the most used to locate the mills of many houses that were close to it.
