Windmills, Castile de la Muela
Photo and caption by Peter Lewin
While touring in Southern Spain this summer, my wife and I, along with two very good friends, stopped at the Castle de la Muela which stands on the site of an old Roman encampment. The 12 windmills that once worked to make flour from grain overlook Don Quixote country that offers a vast panorama of endless vineyards and olive groves.
