Spain-La Mancha

Campo de Criptana. "At this point they caught sight of thirty or forty windmills which were standing on the plain..." Thus begins chapter VIII of Don Quixote. In Cervantes's time windmills were quite common. This view is undoubtedly the characteristic landscape of Campo de Criptana. Today, ten windmills can be seen, with their original structure and machinery preserved.
