El Campo de Cartagena has been a land of windmills for more than six centuries. Our windmills are of the Mediterranean type with Latin sails, the hallmark of our culture. This visit means a journey to our ancient traditions where visitors will get to know from the inside these living monuments that help us to recall the memory of the past. The walk starts at the hermitage, a rustic construction that houses the venerated Virgin of "El Pasico" inside. It is a natural icon of Mary that enjoys great devotion among the inhabitants of the area, who are used to offer her carnations. Next, a visit to the protagonist of this route is the mill of "El Pasico" which dates back to 1844 and was used to grind cereal. The guide will take the visitors inside the mill, to show them its three floors or chambers explaining how it works.
