Windmills are of great historic importance on the island of Lanzarote dating back to the times where the island was an important supplier of grains and flour in the archipelago.Following the plan to restore the old windmill in Famara another project is underway in the old capital of Teguise. Thanks to the European Develpement Fund who will be covering 85% of the restoration the windmill of Teguise is undergoing a full restoration for the total cost of 77,000 euros. Soon visitors will be able to see this historic emblem in its full glory.
