Others will remember the slender enemies of Don Quijote.
Mills seem to love to dominate the landscape.
All other water-mills have the wheel mounted on a vertical axis, hidden in a cavity under the mill. Modern time came and was strongly against the mills. The construction of better roads made it possible to bring bread from the city up to the mountains. This, together with the industrial production of flour and olive oil made life for the small village mills impossible. Just as with traffic-signs, the job starts at home.
