Tips

Juano Mesas 🚴‍♂️🎼👨‍🎓✍️

It is a construction that dates back to the 18th century, although it is not known for sure, destined both to grind grain and to take advantage of the force of the water to exert movement to some mallets, which in turn beat fabrics or skins to work them.

The name itself is already a contradiction, since "batán" is the mechanism that activates the hammers to tan the skins by the action of the force of the water, while the "mill" takes advantage of the force of the water to grind cereals.

Therefore the difference is in the function they perform rather than in the procedure to carry it out.

It is located in a narrow canyon whose walls experience an appreciable difference in level, and used the waters of the stream of the same name.

The most significant thing about the place is the access. IT IS NOT CYCLABLE 😱! and you have to push the bike almost all the way.
