El Molino Viejo de Talpa/The Old Talpa Mill

This old mill was brought from a little mountain town called Talpa. Built in
the early 1800s, it is the most primitive on the ranch and is not in working
order. The method of grinding grain was crude compared to later mills, but
it is an example of how men could make good use of materials available. It
is all handmade and served the people of Talpa for many, many decades.
After the water turns the wheel, it runs into the field and irrigates the plants.
