Mill: 1994 (left) Azud with canal 1995 |
The azud (dam) is a few hunderd meters upstream.
The canal - on the right river-bank - is still used for the irrigation
of a field just above the mill where it fades away.
There is nothing left from the balsa except the stone wall on the right.

The workplace is rather in disarray, but all essential
elements are present. The mill-stones are protected
by the guardapolvo. The tolva is mounted on the
guardapolvo. The hopper on the foreground should be mounted between tolva and guardapolvo. The cabra is used to lift the stones for maintenance. The tray left is the farinal where the fresh flour is collected. If your screen and eyes are not too bad, you should be able to discern the control for the levador just in front of the guardapolvo (see enlargement). I hope you have practised the mill-vocabulary. |

Pedro Buils' mill in scaffolding.
This picture from 22.XII.1998 shows a new phase
in his life: the roof has been redone. Observe
the small window not on the older images.
The riverbank has been reinforced.
In July 2002 the mill was inaugurated an Etnological Museum with website (Spanish). |
