Conjunto Histórico de Teixois, Traditional water mills complex in Taramundi, Spain.
The ethnographic site contains five hydraulic machines including a hammer mill, sharpening wheel, hydroelectric station, grain mill, and fulling mill along Mestas stream.
Between the 18th and 19th centuries, local inhabitants started using water power from the stream to manufacture agricultural tools and household items.
The hydraulic machines operated under a cooperative system where residents took turns managing different parts of the production process in the Asturian community.
Located 4 kilometers from Taramundi town center, the complex offers guided tours every 45 minutes between 11:00 AM and 8:00 PM daily.
The small hydroelectric power station from 1936 generated sustainable energy for the entire village, demonstrating early renewable energy adoption in rural Spain.
