windmill

Castro Verde, (Region of Alentejo) Portugal

These unique windmills used to be all over the Alentejo Region, but today they are harder to come by.  This particular windmill in Castro Verde stopped working by 1940 and was bought by the town in 2003.  It is now back in operation and open to the public for visits.

I'll let this picture speak for itself.  Or better yet, comment and tell me what you think!

Alentejo is wonderful!
