About 20 minutes walk from the Cap de Sant Antoni Viewpoint. The windmills in the area of Les Plans are another emblematic scene that should not be missed. The first construction was in the fourteenth century. Ten other towers followed years later. Currently, the remains of some of these old mills are without blades or covers, but they can be observed and discover the unique place they occupy. From this viewpoint, in addition to contemplating the buildings, you have a beautiful view of Xàbia, the entire bay, as well as Cape San Antonio and the urban area and its beaches. Nowadays, these mills are disused. Its function was to grind wheat. There are a total of 11 windmills that are characterized by their cylindrical shape, about 7 meters high and a diameter of more than 6 meters. The interior has two floors. The ground floor was used as a warehouse and the upper floor, supported by a 1/4 sphere tosca stone vault, contained robust holm oak mechanisms that moved the heavy stone millstones and supported the blades fixed to a horizontal axis. All this disappeared at the end of the 19th century. Of this large set, three are municipal property and their restoration and recovery is planned.
