View was great with castle and mills together. Walking wasn't hard from castle to mills, but also you can drive. You can park side of road.( when i went there it wasn't crowded, so easily can find parking place) Castle was not big and under the renovation to restore inside. It was a nice place to visit to have fresh air.
Consuegra is famous due to its windmills. They became famous in the 17th century, when Don Quixote was first published. The introduction of the windmills was made by "Caballeros Sanjuanistas", who brought these machines that helped millers. These machines used the wind to grind grain (the most common grain is wheat). The windmills were transmitted from fathers to sons. They usually consisted of two rooms or levels. Millers had to carry sacks of grains that could weigh 60 or 70 kilos to the top floor, they rotated the sails of the windmill as the top part of the windmill or dome was movable. They stopped being used at the beginning of the 1980s. There were 13 windmills originally but 12 have been reconstructed.
Great to see so many windmill in ome place . But so windy castle look good but didn't go in
Stunning 360° views
Nice, but the reconstruction works seem most of the castle (meaning it's almost all new at 1st Sight). Still nice to visit costing 4 eur and the view of the Mancha valley is fantastic
