The Consuegra mills are a group of mills located in the so-called “Cerro Calderico”, in the Spanish municipality of Consuegra, in the province of Toledo.
Windmills were built in the first half of the 19th century.
Miguel de Cervantes, with the book of Don Quixote de La Mancha, made windmills one of the most universal symbols of our country. There are several places where they can be seen, but without a doubt those of Consuegra are one of the most visited.
After the different reconstructions carried out at different times, twelve of the thirteen mills that once crowned Cerro Calderico are preserved in the 21st century. Currently they have ceased to perform their function as mills and are used for tourist purposes.
In 2006 the joint declaration as Asset of Cultural Interest of the hill was initiated, including the mills and the nearby castle of La Muela; 1 in February 2008 it would be approved with the category of «Historic Site».
