Places to see in ( Castile La Mancha - Spain ) Consuegra
Consuegra is a municipality located in the province of Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Spain. In 2009 the municipality had a population of 10,932 inhabitants. It is 80 km from Ciudad Real and 60 km from Toledo.
The principal economy sector is agriculture. The industry is predominated by textile and wood. The castle and the windmills are Consuegra's most important monuments. Most Spanish windmills, like those described in Cervantes's Don Quixote, can be found in the community of Castilla-La Mancha in central Spain.
The best examples of restored Spanish windmills may be found in Consuegra where several mills spike the hill just outside town, giving a spectacular view of the 12th-century castle and of the town. The castle was once a stronghold when Consuegra was the seat and priory of the Knights of San Juan, the Spanish branch of the Knight's Hospitallers of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Windmills are also located in Mota del Cuervo, Tomelloso, and Campo de Criptana.
Consuegra is famous due to its windmills. They became famous in the 16th 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.
The original fortress at the site was perhaps built by emperor Trajan, but historical records only recall that a fortress here was initially built by Almanzor. During the Reconquest, in times of Alfonso VIII to the Knights Hospitaller. In 1813 it was destroyed during the Peninsular War. In 1962 the castle was ceded to the town hall and underwent a period of reconstruction. This received an impulse in 1985 with the creation of the School Workshop, whose activity continue today.

CONSUEGRA (Spain): Don Quixote's Windmills
Let me take you to the quiet town of Consuegra which, in Spanish, means mother-in-law of a person's son or daughter.
So, are these windmills really the ones mentioned in the famous novel Don Quixote, written by Miguel de Cervantes in 17th century?
Well, the story’s setting is in the plains of Castilla la Mancha. But Castilla la Mancha is one of Spain's biggest regions. The best-preserved windmills can be found in three different locations in this region of Spain: Consuegra, Campo de Criptana and Mota del Cuervo.

Places to see in ( Castile La Mancha - Spain ) Consuegra Castle
Consuegra Castle, locally known as Castillo de Consuegra, lies in the village by the same name in the province of Toledo in Spain.
There already was a great castle at this site during Moorish rule, which played an important role in the civil wars between the califates of Toledo and Cordoba. Somewhere between 1085 and 1090 the castle came into the hands of the Christian king Alfonso VI. Whether he gained it as result of a siege or as part of a dowry isn't known. Later on it was taken back by the Moors only to be conquered again by Alfonso VII in 1147.
In 1183 the castle was ceded to the military order of Knights Hospitaller, by King Alfonso VIII. He considered the castle to be of great importance which is why he granted Consuegra Castle the revenue of a tax on the nearby city of Toledo, for ten years, in order to maintain and improve its defenses. The Moorish castle was so much altered by the Hospital Knights that almost nothing is left of its Moorish origin. The Knights made alterations which improved its military, as well as its residential character. This is why the castle has become a peculiar strength, quite different from other castles in the surrounding area. It served as a headquarters for this military order.
The castle consists of three large, irregular shaped enclosures protected by strong walls and several (semi-)circular towers. The inside is a maze of gates, walkways, stairs and rooms. All built to make entry as difficult as possible for any attackers. Some of the towers have names like the Shieldtower and the Belltower. There are several raintanks in the enclosures of which some were used as prisons in the 16th/17th century. There also was a chapel.
The castle fell to ruin in the 18th/19th century. It is now partially restored and can be visited. This is one of the few castles which wasn't freely accessible when I visited Spain; you have to pay a small entrance fee. But the cost is certainly worth it.
This is a great castle. It is situated on a ridge and can be reached over a dead-end road. But there are spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. The image of this castle is well known as it serves as a beautiful background for the white mills which show up in a lot of travel publications.

The Windmills of Consuegra, Spain
The Windmills of Consuegra, Spain
Consuegra is famous for its windmills. These are the same ones, though restored, that Don Quixote fought in Cervante's novel The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha when he mistook the sails for the arms of giants. Because of the windmills Consuegra is part of the 'Don Quixote trail' which takes travellers around the main sights mentioned in the book.
The first windmill appeared more in the 11th century, although in Castile-La Mancha it was not before the 16th century. Once these lands stood about 32 mills in the region now total 10 mills. Today, only three mills date back to the 16th century (Burleto, Infante and Sardinero). The rest were built in the 20th century. Typical manchegskie mill-This whitewashed building with one door and small square window. They were built of wood. Upstairs are the spider that spun by the wind and driven by a toothed gear. Gear mechanism in turn moved the circular stone, located on the second in the same stone. Between these two stones were wheat, which result milled. Thus, in particular, has the crosspieces Burleto mill diameter of six meters and with twelve windows, as it is believed that in this area the twelve winds blowing. The interior consists of three levels. Serve as the bottom two barns, and trills level is the threshing mechanism, which is still working.
The windmills are attractive round white windmills with black roofs and sails and sit in a line of 11 along the top of a hill. There were 13 originally and 11 of them remain. Each of the windmills has its own name. The windmills stopped being used for grinding grain in the 1980s though one is now used as an ice-cream shop - a welcome place to cool down from the high summer temperatures experienced in Castilla La Mancha. The tourist office is housed inside one of the windmills giving you a chance to step inside.
The windmills and the surrounding planes and views over Consuegra below are highly photogenic. The fields around Consuegra turn purple in the autumn as the saffron crocuses bloom and one of the windmills (the one called Sancho) is set in motion each year for the celebration's of the harvest of the saffron crop. The celebrations take place on the last weekend of October. Also on the ridge overlooking the town is a ruined castle of 10th century Moorish origin and from here you get great views over the surrounding plains and the windmills.

Tatiana Mckeen TRAVEL- I speak English, Spanish, French My travels have been within the U.S., Ireland, North Africa, France, Greece, Germany, The Canary Islands, to the Spanish peninsula and a few other places. I have family and friends in Spain. I have visited places where most international tourists had never heard of; off the beaten path would be an understatement. Most of my trips have been to the northern regions of the stunning country that is Spain but I have also trotted through many of the other provinces and regions. Such variety, many spectacular locations in a country a little smaller than Texas. Castles, monasteries, palaces, and other historic buildings turned into 4-5-star hotels called Paradores were an incredible surprise even 15-20 years ago when I started touring the peninsula. When it comes to Americans, Spain in general is one of the best-kept secrets in all of Europe and I pray that it continues as such for a long time!

Like those of Cervantes's Don Quixote, these windmills can be found in Castilla, Spain, and they are some of the best examples of restored windmills. The 12th century castle was a stronghold when Consuegra was the seat and priory of the Knights of San Juan, the Spanish branch of the Knight's Hospitallers of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.
Well worth the trip!
