Puig d'en Valls Windmill, East Ibiza
One of the few fully restored windmills on the island of Ibiza
When you travel across the island you will see many remnants of windmills, once glorious, and now just a few spokes sticking out from a ruined tower.
However, in Puig d'en Valls, just a few minutes from Ibiza Town you will find a wonderfully restored windmill, originally built in the 18th century and in operation up until the 1940's. It is a flour windmill, with a cylindrical base and walls of at least a meter thick. The promulgation of a decree of ban on food production halted production, as happened with other mills on the island.
Situated on a quiet hillside this is a beautiful place to come and escape the crowds. If you are doing a whistle stop tour of the island by car or moped then this is an absolute 'must see' on you list. With great views back over to the Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town plus a calm and tranquil surrounding make this an ideal picnic place.
