AMUX invites you on a 
Guided visit to the restored windmills
on La Plana de Sant Jeroni in Xàbia
followed by lunch at the
Restaurant l’Amanacer

The windmills on la Plana de Sant Jeroni de Xàbia form an important groupboth on the Mediterrean coast and the Iberian Peninsula. Eleven windmills in total, they were constructed at different times between the 14th and 18th centuries and were in use until the beginning of the 20th century.

Three of them have recently been restored in a project by the Xàbia Town Hall, with the participation of the assocation Xàbia Viva.

The guided tour will be in Castellano with an English resumé available as well as assistance in translation by an AMUX member.

Everyone welcome.
