The windmills of San Antón Hill are one of the great symbols of Alcázar de San Juan (Ciudad Real) and an essential part of the Don Quixote Route.
They emerged in La Mancha in the mid-16th century as an alternative to the scarcity of watermills, due to the climate and the terrain.
San Antón Hill is a Paleozoic elevation located southeast of the town, about 2.5 km from the town center, with spectacular views of the La Mancha plains.
