Agriculture, architecture & starry skies

The Molino de Tefía is one of the most impressive windmills in Fuerteventura. It is located in the centre of the island and is a silent witness to the island's agricultural past.

Like many other mills on the island, it was once used to process grain grown in rainy times. A special feature is its construction with a round tower and six large blades - a rather rare design that clearly sets it apart from other windmills on the island.

Today, the carefully restored mill is one of the most famous of its kind and is located in the immediate vicinity of the La Alcogida open-air museum. From its slightly elevated position, there is a wide view over the barren yet fascinating landscape of the centre of the island - characterised by rolling hills, wide plains and the typical earthy colours of Fuerteventura.

Due to the low light pollution, the area is also a favourite place for stargazing.
