These are the famous windmills of Campo de Criptana in Castilla La Mancha province, Spain. These windmills are the ones who "Don Quijote De La Mancha" fought thinking they were giants instead of windmills, in the Chapter VIII of the most famous Spanish novel written by Miguel de Cervantes in 1605.( El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha)
There are in the área ten windmills of which three of them are from the XVIth Century. Each of them have it's own name. The view from this place is impressive of all the plains of Castilla. I Hope you like the pic ,folks!!
