#consuegra

Consuegra, the famous white windmill town, is a must-visit spot near Madrid, just 1-2 hours' drive away. If you're heading south to Seville, make sure to stop by this charming town, known for being the setting of Don Quixote's epic battle with the windmill monsters. The central plateau of Spain is a vast, barren landscape with earthy tones that give the surroundings a desolate feel. The white windmills of Molinos de Viento de Consuegra stand out prominently on a small hill, creating a dreamy silhouette against the blue sky. These white windmills, built over 400 years ago, were originally used to grind corn, wheat, and other crops, as well as to press olive oil using wind power. They later became a popular tourist attraction after being featured in a car commercial, making them a great spot for photos. Due to Consuegra's relatively inconvenient transportation, most visitors come by tour buses, spending about 1-2 hours exploring the area.

On the vast plains of La Mancha stand several white windmills, one of Spain's most iconic landmarks—the Consuegra Windmills. These windmills, along with the expansive fields, create the most representative scene from 'Don Quixote.' Built in the 16th century, these windmills were once vital to local agriculture and have now become symbols of Spanish literature and history. Standing on the hill, with the breeze gently blowing, one can see the endless orange-tiled towns and fields, reminiscent of Don Quixote's classic battle against the 'giants.' Next to the windmills is the medieval Castillo de la Muela, offering a panoramic view of the entire land, as if transporting you back to the era of knights and romantic adventures. On this land, the windmills still turn, the stories continue to be told, and we are the fortunate witnesses on this journey.

Consuegra. Castilla La Mancha, Spain. Don't miss it. Ancient windmills and 10th century castle. Gorgeous. Mystery. Historical. #consuegra ##duniakembara ##kembaraibnmulk
