As a place specializing in cultivating wheat for hundreds of years, since the 11th century, Consuegra used to have 32 windmills to crush seeds into flour. Currently, Consuegra has only 12 windmills, 2 located in the north, 12 facing south of La Muella castle. All are cylindrical design, about 9-10 m high, white walls, green roofs and 4 rectangular wooden propellers Photo: Memories_from_earth, garsejuan.

Inside each mill there are 3 floors followed by a staircase along the wall. The ground floor is the place to store paddy, fine milled flour, the second floor for screening and the top floor holds machinery, including Catalina gears. The walls are covered with windows, helping the mill owner and miller easily know the wind direction is blowing to adjust the propeller. Depending on the amount of wind, the fan will rotate quickly or slowly, but they will sound funny because the gears are clenched together. Photo: Donquixote_land, 1discover____.
Most of the mills are now decommissioned in the 1980s. There are still 2 active windmills here so that visitors can learn about its internal mechanisms

The elegant blue and white colors also make the windmill make it a virtual living background for many visitors.

Windmills run long, forming a circle on top of the Cerro Calderico hill. When coming here, visitors can also enjoy the green, windy space of the meadows, the look of the medieval castle behind. Photo: Molinorucio_es.
The most pleasant time to visit is late spring or early autumn, when the weather is usually warm but not too hot. At that time, you will witness the "giants" gently stirring in the blue sky, white clouds, the blooming saffron fields and the swarm of sheep and goats grazing.

When sunset falls, the windmills are dyed with romantic pink and purple colors.



The paparazzi often choose this place as the place to capture the beautiful moments at the end of the day. If you love experiencing Spanish culture, this is a suggestion for an upcoming trip after the season. Photo: Spaintrips.
