Long ago, in a land of wonders named Santa Cruz de Tenerife, there stood a fairytale edifice, known as the Windmill of Llano del Moro, a Cultural Asset with Statutory Listing. This ethereal structure has survived from an era long forgotten, nestled in the heart of the mystical valley. It stands as a silent sentinel of times past, now finding its voice in the whispers of yesteryears. Its troncocónic form and thick mampostería walls encase two enchanting entities – the mill and a nearby dwelling, often spoken of as 'the house of the miller' with a loveliness that harks to the past.
Two magical openings grace its facade – one leading to the entryway and the other a regal window, high upon the walls. Time has taken the original roof, but a remnant of the grand internal roof remains behind. The once whirling sails, like the miller's laughter, have disappeared, yet the echoes of their dance still linger in our hearts. A neighboring building, with a roof of two-water tiles and basaltic walls devoid of plaster, stands in awe-struck silence at a distance of 10 meters.
Fate has sealed its doors, leaving it shrouded in a dreamy haze. Yet, the Windmill of Llano del Moro, standing tall against the horizon, remains an integral part of the spellbinding stories that this enchanted valley weaves.
