This mill uses a canal approximately 2 km long, divided into two sections. One of approximately 1.5 km upstream and another that covers the rest. The canal is four meters wide and reaches seven meters in the last part of the first section, which serves as a dam. The mill has three floors. The walls perpendicular to the canal are made of stone, while the other walls are made of brick, following the typical construction of the area. Furthermore, next to the mill are the outbuildings that once served as housing for the former owners. If you are interested in exploring more, you can also visit Rambla de los Molinos, located in the old flour mill of the same name. It has been rehabilitated as a Nature Classroom and Environmental Interpretation Center. It offers an interesting overview of the socioeconomic, natural and physical environment of the Almansa district. 😊🌄🚶♀️

The patronage of this church - "Santa MARIA ASUNCION" or "Nuestra Señora de La Asunción" (in German-speaking countries it is called "Mariä Himmelfahrt") - refers to one of the many memorial or feast days in honor of the Mother of God Mary in the church year. It goes back to the feast of her bodily assumption into heaven, which the (Catholic) Church celebrates annually on August 15th. In Christian Orthodox churches the feast is celebrated under the name "Maria Entschläfung". In rural areas it is part of the local custom - depending on the region - that on this special day bundles of herbs are collected by the population and blessed in the festive service.

The Coloma Park, formerly known as Mariana Pineda Park, is an emblematic space in Almansa. Its history is intertwined with the evolution of the city and the old Coloma Factory, which was one of the most important footwear factories of the early 20th century and an economic engine for Almansa. If you ever visit Almansa, I invite you to explore this park and immerse yourself in its history and beauty. It is a place full of charm and meaning! 🌳🌿

The Church of the Assumption in Almansa is an imposing monument that stands in front of the Plaza de Santa María. It is a must-see when touring the historic center of Almansa. Inside, Our Lady of Bethlehem, the Patroness of the city, presides over the High Altar. Construction began on April 30, 1524. Throughout the first half of the 16th century, it was developed from the foundation to the elevation of the nave walls, the side chapels, and buttresses were added. The sculptural group on the façade represents the Annunciation, with the Virgin kneeling before a lectern and the archangel Gabriel in front of her. If you're thinking of visiting the city, here's a little history to inspire you!

The Palace of the Counts of Cirat, also known as “the Big House”, is a Renaissance-style building with a civil character. It was built in the last quarter of the 16th century by the Almanseño noble Don Alfonso de Pina. This palace is located in the Plaza de Santa María in the town of Almansa. This palace is a historical and architectural testimony that deserves to be appreciated for its beauty and cultural significance. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Almansa, I recommend exploring this magnificent Renaissance building. 🏰🌟
