The Sierra de los Molinos is the place where the famous windmills are built. It is the top of a hill where the open space ensures the wind that would move its blades in its time. Of the more than thirty windmills that once existed, ten of them are preserved, called: Sardinero located on the Cerro de la Paz and Burleta, Infanto, Cariari, Culebro, Inca Garcilaso, Lagarto, Pilón, Poyatos and Quimera located in the Sierra de los Molinos.

Their existence inspired Cervantes to narrate "The Battle of Don Quixote against the Giants", in chapter VIII of "The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha", where Don Quixote mistook the windmills for giants against whom to fight.
