Windmills of Consuegra, Spain
We follow the footsteps of Don Quixote de La Mancha . . . not to do battle with giants, but rather appreciate their strange beauty.
The Windmills of Consuegra, Spain
Consuegra is famous for its windmills. These are the same ones, though restored, that Don Quixote fought in Cervante's novel The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha when he mistook the sails for the arms of giants. Because of the windmills Consuegra is part of the 'Don Quixote trail' which takes travellers around the main sights mentioned in the book.
The first windmill appeared more in the 11th century, although in Castile-La Mancha it was not before the 16th century. Once these lands stood about 32 mills in the region now total 10 mills. Today, only three mills date back to the 16th century (Burleto, Infante and Sardinero). The rest were built in the 20th century. Typical manchegskie mill-This whitewashed building with one door and small square window. They were built of wood. Upstairs are the spider that spun by the wind and driven by a toothed gear. Gear mechanism in turn moved the circular stone, located on the second in the same stone. Between these two stones were wheat, which result milled. Thus, in particular, has the crosspieces Burleto mill diameter of six meters and with twelve windows, as it is believed that in this area the twelve winds blowing. The interior consists of three levels. Serve as the bottom two barns, and trills level is the threshing mechanism, which is still working.
The windmills are attractive round white windmills with black roofs and sails and sit in a line of 11 along the top of a hill. There were 13 originally and 11 of them remain. Each of the windmills has its own name. The windmills stopped being used for grinding grain in the 1980s though one is now used as an ice-cream shop - a welcome place to cool down from the high summer temperatures experienced in Castilla La Mancha. The tourist office is housed inside one of the windmills giving you a chance to step inside.
The windmills and the surrounding planes and views over Consuegra below are highly photogenic. The fields around Consuegra turn purple in the autumn as the saffron crocuses bloom and one of the windmills (the one called Sancho) is set in motion each year for the celebration's of the harvest of the saffron crop. The celebrations take place on the last weekend of October. Also on the ridge overlooking the town is a ruined castle of 10th century Moorish origin and from here you get great views over the surrounding plains and the windmills.

Places to see in ( Castile La Mancha - Spain ) Consuegra Windmills
Consuegra is famous due to its windmills. They became famous in the 16th century, when Don Quixote was first published. The introduction of the windmills was made by Caballeros Sanjuanistas, who brought these machines that helped millers.
These machines used the wind to grind grain (the most common grain is wheat). The windmills were transmitted from fathers to sons. They usually consisted of two rooms or levels. Millers had to carry sacks of grains that could weigh 60 or 70 kilos to the top floor, they rotated the sails of the windmill as the top part of the windmill or dome was movable. They stopped being used at the beginning of the 1980s.
Some of the most important parts of the windmill are:
Tunnel or canal: through it the grain goes down.
Container: where the grain is stored
Piece of wood: for moving the sails
All of them had names to differentiate one from another:
Names in 1963:
La zorra
La tuerta
Mochilas
Vista alegre
Panza
Bolero
Santo domingo
Chispas
Rastrero
Por si pega
Bateria
Espartero

Names today:

コンスエグラの風車（Molinos de Consuegra,Windmills Of Consuegra),Spain
2014.11.4訪問。コンスエグラに向かう途中は激しい雨で、到着するまでには止んでくれたが、あいにくの曇り空。標高約700m、人口約１万人程の小さな街、コンスエグラ。町の南西側に南北で約１.5ｋｍ、東西で幅約500ｍ、高さ約１００mほどの細長いカルデリコの丘がある。この丘は、マドリードからアンダルシア地方に延びる国道のかなり遠方から、左前方に見えてくる。この丘に並び立つ11基の風車群と古城と、その眼下に広がる赤茶けた風景は、ラ・マンチャ地方（「乾いた土地」という意味）独特である。
駐車場脇にある「Rucio」という風車の１基が売店兼展示館になっている。１．５ユーロの入館料がかかるが、１ユーロほどの飲み物付き（ペットの水や缶入りの飲み物など）なので、割安感があった。風車の内部構造（３階建て）が見物でき、風車の小窓から見える景色が素晴らしい。
********************************************************************
2014.11.4 visit. The way to Consuegra in heavy rain, to until the arrival was me ceased, unfortunately the cloudy sky. Altitude of about 700m, a small town of about a population of about 10,000 people, Consuegra. About 1.5km north-south on the southwest side of the town, about the width in the east and west 500m, there is a hill of elongated Karuderiko of about a height of about 100m. This hill, from quite distant national highway extending to Andalusia from Madrid, comes into view on the left front. And a windmill group and the old castle of the 11 groups that But Not Alone in this hill, landscape in a discolored spread to the under eyes is, (meaning dry land) La Mancha is unique.
1 group of windmill called Rucio on the parking lot side is in the shop and exhibition hall. It takes 1.5 euros admission fee, so with a drink of about EUR 1 (such as pet water and canned drinks), there has been undervalued. The internal structure of the windmill (three-story) can be sightseeing, great view from the small window of the windmill.

In the Medieval Castle and the Windmills of Consuegra June 2016
Consuegra, in Toledo, Spain is a city with an impressive medieval castle. with windmills out of a dream and a breathtaking view from the top. If you enter into the castle and the windmills. If they tell you the story that there is behind history, if you are lucky enough to go a day when the windmills are in motion. And if you do all this with a glass of wine in hand, that day becomes unforgettable. I'm a #lifelover and #winelover. Everything is more beautiful with a glass of wine in hand.

Like those of Cervantes's Don Quixote, these windmills can be found in Castilla, Spain, and they are some of the best examples of restored windmills. The 12th century castle was a stronghold when Consuegra was the seat and priory of the Knights of San Juan, the Spanish branch of the Knight's Hospitallers of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.
Well worth the trip!
