One more year, the Rural League, in collaboration with the Municipal Neighborhood Board of Perín and the City of Cartagena, organized its Wind Mills Day, which this year celebrated its fourth edition.

Coinciding with the celebration of activities of the Night of the Museums, the day of open doors took place this Saturday, May 18, at around 12:30 pm, in the Mill of Zabala, in the Perugia deputation.

The assistants could know the legacy and history of the giants that one day reigned in our fields and that today cry for their restoration and cultural and tourist value.

This activity was attended by the Councilor for Culture of the City of Cartagena, David Martínez, the president of the Neighborhood Board of Perín, Isabel Andreu, and the general director of Historical and Archaeological Heritage of Cartagena, Mari Carmen Berrocal.

In addition, upon leaving the visit, there was a place for a small aperitif where the attendees could taste and where they continued to know the ins and outs of this Latin sail windmill.

The mill Zabala, whose work for centuries has been to grind the grain and get the necessary flour, essential source for the food of our people and their farm animals, is the oldest of those that still survive in our region

Already in the Cadastre of Ensenada, in 1755, this windmill is registered, which for several years was dismasted by a strong gale, and now, thanks to the work of the City of Cartagena, has been restored, ready to get back on track.

The Rural League of Campo de Cartagena, within its activities of defense and promotion of the rural heritage of the Campo de Cartagena region, organizes talks, tours, guided tours and various activities with different groups throughout the year to publicize the rich rural heritage: windmills, cisterns, ferris wheels, mansions, windmills, etc., as well as all the cultural legacy, celebrations, traditions, folklore and oral literature of our area.
