The first windmill was built in 1790 because they were more economical and efficient than water mills, especially in an area with limited waterways.
By 1807, there were as many as 11 mills, although seven remain today:
El Ama, La Niece, Dulcinea, Maritornes, La Dueña Dolorida, La Duquesa, and Teresa Panza.
Four of them were restored in 2003, giving them the typical La Mancha image we associate with Cervantes' work.
