Qué es exactamente una construcción bioclimática?
Se trata de una arquitectura que tiene en cuenta el clima y las condiciones del entorno para ayudar a conseguir confort en su interior utilizando el menor consumo energético.. No es un concepto nuevo: los hórreos, **las galerías**, la orientación de las casas son algunos ejemplos en Galicia de esta coherencia arquitectónica.
Is there a specific term for galerías here?
Thanks

Could be either one. Without seeing a picture I can't tell for sure.

A verandah or veranda is a roofed opened gallery or porch. It is also described as an open pillared gallery, generally roofed, built around a central structure. It is often partly enclosed by a railing and frequently extends across the front and sides of the structure.

I'd use "veranda" or "gallery" for a one-word version.

They allow air to circulate, which is why they are used for clothes drying in more humble abodes :)
