Next, we will begin our guided tour of Cerro Calderico, the site of Consuegra's famous windmills. Here, you can admire these gigantic structures and learn the storey behind them. Did you know that Don Quixote mistook them for giants in his famous adventure? During the tour, you will also discover how these Manchego landscapes inspired Miguel de Cervantes to create his most famous work.
After exploring the hill, we will visit the interior of the Rucio Mill, one of the most iconic mills in the area. Through this experience, you will learn about how they operated in the past and their historical significance in the region.
