La Mola - Punta Roja

The main reason to walk or ride this route is the Molí Vell de la Mola, signposted from El Pilar de la Mola. It is one of the island's seven flour mills, one of the three oldest and the best preserved, dating from 1778, and in summer you can see its complete machinery inside. The first mills here were turned by animals; later, on land open to every wind, sails took over.

Past the mill a forest track crosses fields and woodland with scattered houses, heading south-east to the cliffs of Punta Roja and a wide view of the sea.
