Mills in Altoaragón - harinero, aceitero
Torres del Obispo
Torres del Obispo is perhaps
not that easy to find because it's not on the regular tourist track. From
Graus take the main road to the south and after a while turn left for Benabarre.
You'll soon reach Torres del Obispo. Straight on at the branch taking off to the
left and leading to the village center. You'll shortly reach a crossroads with
the southern entrance to Torres and a bridge giving access to a road with fast trafic.
At the other side of the bridge a narrow road leads to Juseu. The mill is situated
exactly at this point. The low stone walls are the top level of the milling
complex.
The mill got water from the Barranco del Molino.

The first part of the cárcavo is wide
and spacious. At the back of this part is another, lower arch. Above this arch
the wall is open and giving a view at still another room. The space is empty, but I think
that this floor housed a powerstation.
The entrance to this central eléctrica
is indicated by the white arrow (1). From inside you'll get a nice view
of the bowels of the building (19, 20). I didn't take the risk of any further exporation.
