CAN ROTURA WINDMILL

Mr. Julián is the owner of this very old watermill.

He explains us that the mill has been working since 1.942.

CAN ROTURA WINDMILLIt was built by his family, his father and other relatives.

The heavy millstones were raised by roping them to a beam in the top of the mill.

CAN ROTURA WINDMILLInside the mill we go upstairs through a stone staircase made on the same rock.

Inside the watermill we can observe a stone structure which makes the connection between the pool and the land.

CAN ROTURA WINDMILL

One of the most important advantages of this mill is that it is used to water all the cultivated land in the surroundings.

We can observe all the land plenty of crops and with a lot of working mills.

CAN ROTURA WINDMILL

Mr. Julián tells us that when this arrow-shaped tail was opened, the mill could take full advantage of the wind and when it was threatened by strong winds, it could be closed by using chains.

The mill sails are as high as a person.

LITERARY WORKSMr. Pere Morey is the person who gives us “Rondalles for all those who likes

history”. Inside we can find a rondalla is the one titled

“Rondalla Revelació de Sant Jordi”.

By Pau Seguí

At the story the windmill laments on how little care we take for them. Windmills don’t want to be replaced by “those noisy engines” which disturb mother Earth.

LITERARY WORKSThirty tall towers

We remember last year poetry which was fulfilled with a very nice picture

Gabriela Seguí.

“Thirty tall towerssurround the citywith huge polesand funnels upside down ……”
