These lovely windmills present an iconic image of La Mancha

May 2022 • Couples

These iconic windmills, together with the adjoining castle, are a fabulous sight and are now inextricably linked to the fictitious character Don Quixote and his fabled travels throughout La Mancha. Twelve of the original thirteen windmills have been preserved on the hillside, five of which are in full working order, and one of them doubles a a small shop for necessary cold drinks etc!

We climbed up a some steep stairs from the town centre, but you can also drive up the hill.

Well worth a visit

Jul 2019

Parked in the little town below and walked up. Amazing place to visit and amazing views - just look at all the photographs. A couple of little local bars in the village below which are good to visit - complementary tapas in this part of the country as well.

Spending Time with Scenic Windmills

May 2019 • Couples

It's really neat seeing the row of white windmills on the hill. And one of them you can enter and climb up to see how it works. Other than photo ops, though, there's not much else here. But we enjoyed being close up to the windmills.

Fun side trip

May 2019 • Couples

My husband read Don Quixote so we made a slight detour on our drive to Toledo. The windmills are quite fun to see from afar and up close. Several of them have a small business inside - a gift shop, a snack store, a (tiny) restaurant. Word of warning: DON’T wear a skirt! It was very windy and I made this mistake. Quite a spectacle. I bought a miniature windmill replica for 3€ that is quite cute.

Great value visit

May 2019 • Friends

We bought tickets for €4.50 and for this we got to go upstairs into 3 of the windmills and all of the castle. The castle in particular was impressive, but the windmills are very photogenic. We recommend this as a visit.

Working windmill, well sort of for part of the day. Modest entry fee, which we thought was fair. Very good photo opps.

Beautiful

Nov 2018 • Friends

Probably the best place to see the famous windmills. Just off the highway and with easy access this place needs a couple of hours to take in all the views, the castle and to walk from one end to the other. Very enjoyable and a photographers heaven, especially early or late in the day: Magnificent

A Don Quixote moment

Nov 2017 • Family

We stopped by the windmills on the drive from Cordoba to Toledo. The windmills in the Cerro Calderico Ridge are beautiful. The Rubio Windmill retains the original milling equipment which you can view. Depending on weather and time the miller can have the windmill working and grinding wheat. It is a great little excursion. The mill visit is 2€ if milling and 1.5€ if not and this includes a water (which would cost 1€) so this is a bargain. Very interesting and there is a video showing the milling process if you visit when it is not working.
