Mills in Altoaragón

Salinas de Sín


Salinas de Sín is on the highway from L'Ainsa to France. From the village you can see the mill on the opposite bank of the Río Cinca

  The mill of Salinas de Sín was a grain mill, but also a saw and power station and consisted of two adjacent constructions. The second part was erected on top of the walls which are protruding into the river bed.

On page 249 of the book Miradas desde Tella you'll find a nice picture of the site when the mill was still in use.

  The cárcavo houses a wooden wheel barrow and other tools highly valued as museum pieces, but nothing typical for a mill.
