Description
The silhouette of the windmills is one of the most representative symbols of Vejer. All the nineteenth-century flour windmills in Vejer worked with water. Among all of them, we should highlight those of the Duke of Medina Sidonia located in the quarter of Santa LucĂa.
The beginnings of the liberal regime triggered the construction of the first windmills of the town of Vejer. Nevertheless, the strong Levanter winds made the installation impossible. As a consequence, windmills of Carthaginian style were installed, since they are more robust than Manchegan windmills, so they can better resist strong gusts of wind.
