Molí de Baix - San Luis, Isla de Menorca, España - Windmills on Waymarking.com

[ES] “Construido en 1780, fue el último molino de los tres existentes en el pueblo. Una tromba de agua o "cap de fibló" le arrebató las aspas en 1951. Tras transformarlo en molino de fuego que se hacía girar de forma mecánica con un motor diesel de la época, funcionó hasta la década de los setenta. La familia propietaria del molino lo vendió al Ayuntamiento, que lo ha convertido en un centro de ocio juvenil. Los antiguos propietarios del mismo, Adrià Sintes y su hermano, Miguel Sintes, transmitieron sus conocimientos de molinería y dieron las directrices para restaurar el Molí de Dalt.”

[EN] “Built in 1780, this was the last of the three mills to be built in the town. A violent downpour blew down its blades in 1951. After being converted into a fire mill, which was mechanically powered by a diesel engine from that period, it was in operation until the 1970s. The family who owned the mill sold it to the Town Hall, which turned it into a youth recreational centre. The former owners of the mill, Adrià Sintes and his brother, Miquel Sintes, shared their knowledge on milling and provided the guidelines for the restoration of Molí de Dalt.”
