    Each country/city is famous for a different type of windmill. The windmills located here were unique with thier astik * shaped spokes and thatched roofs. I later found out from a local that they are stripped of thier sails in the winter/ non windy days and are locked into place with a key. I had the pleasure of staying while the wind was low and the sails were unattached so the visualization was different than summer months. I also had the luxury of a short nap w a beachy breeze on a nearby stone bench which overlooks the entire island.
