    Mediterranean-type flour mill from the 19th century. It consists of two floors, the upper one to store the grain and the lower one where the ground flour fell, a difficult task on which the miller's good or bad reputation depended.

    Hiking

    The Molino de los Genoveses, also known as the Molino del Collado de los Genoveses, is a prominent ethnographic site located in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, near the famous Playa de los Genoveses.
    This windmill was traditionally used to grind grains such as wheat, barley, and corn, reflecting the cereal-producing nature of the area.
    Its construction fits the typical typology of the park: a truncated cone tower made of masonry and lime, divided into three sections.
    It was renovated in 2007 and is now a point of interest on the Los Genoveses trail.
