Mota del Cuervo. Molinos

In a low hill, at whose feet we can find Mota del Cuervo, seven windmills raise vigilant. The whole of this whole place stands out due to its harmony and beauty, in 1967 receives the touristic name of “Balcony of La Mancha”, due to the immense horizon which is comtemplated from here from which you can contemplate spectacular sunsets. Immortalized by Miguel de Cervantes in his masterpiece Don Quixote, they are a symbol of these flat lands of Castilla La Mancha. Cylindrical in shape, they have three floors: the stable or ground floor with a spiral staircase which gives access to the cabin or first floor and the top floor which contained the machinery and the small windows through which the wind enters, the only motor which activates a whole gear of around 100 pieces. The windows show us the dominating wind and the blades make the gigantic scoop wheel spin to move the stone which transforms wheat into flour.
