Highly recommended, parallel to the mill there are gardens at different heights, there is a small vegetable garden, there is another one with a swing, I encourage you to discover it. PS; I forgot, there is another small garden with a swing at the back of the house 😉

This hydraulic mill is one of the historical examples that supplied Aín in the past. Although now disused, its structure is still preserved, allowing us to appreciate the importance it had during its time of operation.
