Spanish windmills, like those described in Cervantes' Don
Quixote can be found in the province of La
Mancha in central Spain. The best examples of restored
Spanish windmills may be found in Consuegra where
several mills spike the hill just outside of town,
providing a spectacular view of the 12th century castle
and of the town. The castle was once 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. Windmills are also
located in Mota del Cuervo, Tomelloso, and Campo de
Criptana.
