Molino de La Calcetera

These mills next to the salt flats and the sea make a wonderful landscape!
Formerly used to take water from the sea and dump it on the surface of the salt flats, today they are part of the picturesque landscape of the Salinas de San Pedro del Pinatar.

These windmills were formerly used to fill the salt basins with seawater.

The Molino de La Calcetera is located on Paseo de la Mota in San Pedro del Pinatar, in the Region of Murcia. Together with the Molino Quintín, these mills are prominent elements of the landscape of the Salinas de San Pedro Regional Park.
Built at the beginning of the 20th century, their main function was to raise water from the Mar Menor to the salt ponds12. Although they are no longer in use, they remain as witnesses to the salt activity that still takes place in the area.
