The White Windmill Town on the Central Plateau of Spain: Consuegra

Consuegra, the famous white windmill town, is a must-visit spot near Madrid, just 1-2 hours' drive away. If you're heading south to Seville, make sure to stop by this charming town, known for being the setting of Don Quixote's epic battle with the windmill monsters. The central plateau of Spain is a vast, barren landscape with earthy tones that give the surroundings a desolate feel. The white windmills of Molinos de Viento de Consuegra stand out prominently on a small hill, creating a dreamy silhouette against the blue sky. These white windmills, built over 400 years ago, were originally used to grind corn, wheat, and other crops, as well as to press olive oil using wind power. They later became a popular tourist attraction after being featured in a car commercial, making them a great spot for photos. Due to Consuegra's relatively inconvenient transportation, most visitors come by tour buses, spending about 1-2 hours exploring the area.
