The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.

Grain milling windmill, south of Madrid Spain
High on a hill outside of Madrid (south of Toledo), there are a number of these windmills. They are near a castle that overlooks a wide valley. These are grain mills rather than others that might pump water. They are not in use, but serve as a reminder of Don Quixote. You would not see these from a bus on the motorway. You need a guidebook that tells you where they are and a car to get there (although there were tour buses there). This is a nice stop and good photo opportunity. If you are a painter just imagine this in oil or watercolor!
