A literary monument – albeit one that seems rather bizarre in the context of the story – has been erected by the Spanish author Miguel de CERVANTES to the windmills with which our ancestors used the energy of the wind centuries ago to move the large and heavy millstones: In one episode, his tragic novel hero Don Quixote, the "Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance", wants to defeat them in a duel, believing that he is battling against giants with four arms.
