rOutE 17 San Lázaro – MoUNT Gozo

Paredes Mill, located on Mount Gozo in Santiago de Compostela, is a small traditional construction made of stone, with a two-pitched tile roof. It is part of the ethnographic heritage linked to the traditional use of water in the Galician rural environment. This hydraulic mill harnessed the force of the current to grind grain and was a key element in the economy of local communities. On its main façade there is an information panel that explains the history and operation of this type of engineering, integrated today in a natural space of great interest for visitors and pilgrims who travel the Camino de Santiago.
