A literary - albeit rather bizarre in the context of the story - monument has been set by the Spanish author Miguel de CERVANTES to the windmills, with which our ancestors harnessed the energy of the wind centuries ago to move the large and heavy millstones : His tragic novel hero Don Quixote, the “knight of the sad figure”, wants to defeat them in a duel in one episode, believing that he is competing against giants with four arms.

The beautifully restored mill is located in the municipality of Ersa. There is a car park nearby, making it very easy to get to.

It was bought by the family of the same name, restored in 2004 and is now used as an advertising mill.

From time to time there is a very strong wind and from the mill you can see very well as far as Cap Corse. A little below the mill there is a small statue of the Madonna with some cairns.

When we were there, a man was standing with a device in his hands that measures the wind speed. In the first photo you can see him from behind. The woman next to it almost twisted it away 😉😯🌬️🌀.

The Mattei mill, owned by the Conservatoire du Littoral, dominates the port of Centuri. It offers a splendid panorama of the west coast of Cap Corse, the Agriate and in the background the high peaks often covered in snow (Monte Padru). To the north the village of Ersa and the island of Giraglia, further offshore the Tuscan archipelago: La Gorgon and Capraia.
