Windmill of Gregorio Prieto
Gregorio Prieto (acclaimed local painter) was a true admirer of the most typical Manchegan constructions, our windmills. These were a common theme on all his paintings and exhibitions all over the world (London, Copenhague, New York, etc.) As a result of that passion we have the windmill of Gregorio Prieto, built during the fifties, the largest windmill in the world. It was built by local masons and carpenters from Valdepeñas. This windmill was the first museum in our city and it is a tribute fromValdepeñas and the painter Gregorio Prieto, to these pastoral monuments that honoured -not so long ago-, the plains of La Mancha.
