La Tierra de Campos, natural area located in the heart of Castilla y Leon, which extends from the provinces of Valladolid, Palencia , Zamora-Leon, well characterized by its wide and good grain output, noted for its traditional architecture land, reinforced in the most impressive buildings of brick or sandstone.
Among the more obscure elements of architecture and past activities are terracampino mills. Given the lack of stable rivers in many parts of the region, have developed significantly windmills. Made mostly with elevations of mud, their neglect has caused the deterioration and destruction of a large majority.
There are still some remains, inventoried at the time by Nicolás García Tapia and Carlos Carricajo Carbajo. For some, reconverted into lofts has been a way to survive a few more years, but today also languish.
the best preserved windmill Aguilar de Campos, thanks largely to be covered with stone, although modest (local sandstone ashlar) has allowed to lose the roof as the rest of mills, walls got better endure the scourge of rain, snow and wind.
for years the mill has been restored, and now this is the outside view it offers. Hopefully his example will be the start to recover other mills in the region, whose memory can not nor should definitely go into the pit of oblivion.
