When you are stuck in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, in a windswept location, with limited fuel resources on land, it stands to reason that you will look to the wind (and the surrounding water) as an energy source. 

Windmills were brought to the Azores by the Flemish and used for the production of cereals. 20 windmills remain today, on seven of the nine Azorean islands.

The only windmill on São Miguel that is still maintained and still works is this one, located just off the E1-1A on the northwestern tip of the island.

If you love finding unique and unusual sights when you travel then this photo spot is for you 📷
