Windmlls (La Mola, Formentera) – at this part of Formentera, there are two ancient whitewashed windmills on the eastern outskirts, once used for grinding wheat. By the 1960s they had fallen into neglect and later converted into hippy communes – Bob Dylan is reputed to have lived inside 18th century Moli Vell for several months. Though you can’t go inside the windmill today, it has been well restored and its wooden sails are still capable for turning the grindstone.
