Southern spanish windmills: Technological aspects

This paper shows the study carried out in a doctoral thesis about windmills in south-east Spain, in the area of Campo de Nijar in the province of Almeria. It intends to pay homage to Spanish windmills as a way of commemorating the fourth centenary of the masterwork of Spanish Literature, ‘Don Quixote’ in which the silhouette of the windmill is a pervading symbol.
