Mills in Altoaragón - aceitero

Fumanal


Fumanal is on your map? Congratulations.
From L'Ainsa take the road for Campo. Turn right after 13 km where Tierrantona is signposted. Leave the mainroad where Muro de Roda is indicated (right turn to the village school). Follow the dirt road past the school-yard and drop the car where a small river crosses your path. You could continue by car, but it really is such a nice walk you wouldn't want to miss it. Walk up-hill until you find the first GR-1 markings. At that point leave the dirt road for a smaller track (you are on the GR towards Humo de Muro) which brings you to the mill after few steps more.

Only regular visitors to this site and other mill-devotees would suspect a mill behind the debris. We have seen mills in a better condition, but even now you can still learn a lot about how the builder put everything together.

Don't fail to visit the abandoned village center next to the mill. You will find some majestic houses with many escutcheons and inscriptions (f.e. top op page) and the old village school.
