Mills Laboreiro

Melgaço
Description

 Set of mills that are implanted taking advantage of the steep terrain. Five mills have been put together. They are built in granite masonry and are of rectangular shape, with gabled roof. These are simple mills of simple rotation using variable water flow; with two floors, each one corresponding to an entry/exit level of the water. A front door on the façade is based on a small elevated soil and in some cases there are small cracks. The door usually provides access to a single compartment with wooden floor, where the hopper and grinding stones are. Some of these mills still have all the wood equipment intact.
