Mills in Altoaragón - aceitero
Las Almunias de Rodellar |
||||
| Las Almunias de Rodellar
lies south from Rodellar, one of the hot spots
in the Sierra de Guara. From Barbastro take the road to Castillazuelo
and then Bierge where you turn right for Rodellar. Be careful in the
numerous curves; watch out for overheated French people during summer.
Leave the car in Almunias and walk the dirt road down to Pedruel. Take the path to the left when you reach the river after about one km. Continue your walk looking left for some small constructions at the base of the hill. The rusty press gives the molino way. The mill takes its water from the Río Alcanadre. Go to the harinero (flour mill) |

The mill is located below
Las Almunias
(slightly above the middle; left; behind the
trees) at the foot of the hills on the edge
of the old riverbed.
The mill is very ruinoso.
The roof is gone and everything is overgrown with bramble
bush. Working our way through we found
the rusty prensa (yellow arrow) standing
next to an oil-pit. The press is of the same
kind as in Mipanas.
