Windmills in Alcázar de San Juan, Historic windmills at Cerro de San Antón, Alcázar de San Juan, Spain
The windmills of Alcázar de San Juan feature three distinct floors dedicated to living quarters, flour storage, and grinding machinery operation on top.
These sixteenth-century structures formed part of La Mancha's agricultural landscape, supporting the regional economy through grain processing and flour production.
The Rocinante Mill functions as an interpretation center, presenting information about the Manchego landscape and the role of windmills in local heritage.
Monthly milling demonstrations occur at these preserved structures, with two mills operating as museums offering free access to their internal mechanisms.
Each windmill contains twelve windows positioned around the top floor, allowing millers to monitor wind directions and adjust the sails for optimal performance.
