This windmill is located near Fatima, an important Marian shrine in Portugal.
It´s a traditional Portuguese windmill made of stone and it´s very close to another. Because the other one is made of wood i decided to make 2 waymarks.
There isn´t much we know about this windmills, except that they bellong to the same owners (Adriano and Adelina da Silva)
They seem in good and working condition.
There´s a plaque asking the visitors to enjoy the visit and not destroy and calling attention to the danger of the windmill sails when working.
Because of the plaque i believe that if you have the luck to find the owners they will be glad to show you inside.
