Watermills in Altoaragón - harinero

Broto

Broto is situated near Torla and the Ordesa National Park. You'll find the mill at the northern outskirts next to the village church.
The mill takes water from the Río Ara.

The corn mill occupies the greater part of the groundfloor of the large white building. The entrance is in the corner. Everything was meticulously locked up, but (once again) I had the luck to find a chink large enough to slit my lens through.

Two sets of milling stones are situated in the section to the left behind the powerstation. It looks like all the usual equipment is present and in good shape. There is a nice crane, a round dust-case, a hopper.
