Round the La Mola plateau

Lengths and times are the island council's official figures for each green route, added up.
Green route 32 is a loop of the whole La Mola plateau from El Pilar de la Mola, laid out for bikes, easy at any level and open to walkers too. It runs between fields, vineyards and woodland, partly on old paths that have never been altered, and out to the cliffs and Far de la Mola.
The windmill is Molí Vell de la Mola, the only one of the island's seven windmills that keeps all its machinery, with the year 1778 carved into it. Walls like the ones beside the fields were often a condition of the land grants to the 18th-century settlers: two rows of stone filled with rubble, no mortar, and a slab on top that juts out to keep animals off.
Back in the village, the church of El Pilar, finished in 1784, is the only one on the island with a porch.
