This is Region of Murcia
Here is Torre Pacheco.
Torre Pacheco is a Spanish municipality in Region of Murcia.
![Page 4: The windmills in Murcia region …. This is Region of Murcia Here is Torre Pacheco. Torre Pacheco is a Spanish municipality in Region of Murcia](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c985503460f94954562/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The earliest reference to windmills dates back as far as the
early 1300’s, when their main use was the grinding of flour.
![Page 5: The windmills in Murcia region …. This is Region of Murcia Here is Torre Pacheco. Torre Pacheco is a Spanish municipality in Region of Murcia](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c985503460f94954562/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The campo de Cartagena area has been a land of windmills for more than six centuries.
![Page 6: The windmills in Murcia region …. This is Region of Murcia Here is Torre Pacheco. Torre Pacheco is a Spanish municipality in Region of Murcia](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c985503460f94954562/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The winds that blow across the area were used by the windmills or ‘molinos’ to create energy.
![Page 7: The windmills in Murcia region …. This is Region of Murcia Here is Torre Pacheco. Torre Pacheco is a Spanish municipality in Region of Murcia](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c985503460f94954562/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mills were a vital component of an agricultural tradition, being used for two main functions:
- to draw water up from the ground and pump it through the irrigation system
- to grind wheat and produce flour.
![Page 8: The windmills in Murcia region …. This is Region of Murcia Here is Torre Pacheco. Torre Pacheco is a Spanish municipality in Region of Murcia](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c985503460f94954562/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The tipical windmill of “Campo de Cartagena” is the Mediterranean type with a tower, a horizontal axle with four pairs of wooden arms.
La Mancha windmill, don Quixote mills, has four rectangular arms.
The Mediterranean windmill has Latin sails (triangular sails), normally 8.

- What is a windmill?
• It is a machine that uses wind as an energy source.

The wind blows the sails and that move the machine.
The machinery is placed on a round tower and it can be oriented to the wind.

The winds that move the wind mills are called:
"lebeches", "jaloque“, "maestral“ or “levante”

Sailing mills is an adaptation of the latin sails ships in the Mediterranean for use in the mills.
Modifying its appearance increases the number of sticks, adapting them to the sails, assuming marine terminology,
and adding versatility to the characteristics of the prevailing winds of the Mediterranean.
