Tips

𝘼𝘾 🏕️

June 9, 2023

Magnificently located in the Serra do Montejunto, famous for having the largest concentration of windmills in the Iberian Peninsula, Moinho de Avis is an absolutely unmissable windmill that dates back to 1810.

This typical windmill, with its clay pots set with sails, is located next to the Curral do Burro restaurant, providing the flour that is then used to make fresh bread, from the rare Barbela wheat.

Miguel Nobre, a carpenter by profession, is also a huge millology enthusiast and was responsible for the restoration of the Avis Mill in 2008. Restoring mills quickly became a full-time job.

Moinho de Avis is the largest windmill in Portugal.
