Moinho da Quintinha/ Cumeada
A masonry mill with a truncated cone-shaped tower and a rotating cap driven by a windlass. It has been in operation since 1982. Whenever weather permits, tourists can observe the traditional grain milling process. At the beginning of this century, the Quintinha Mill is the only example in Portugal of the beginnings of a milling school.
