Look inside a working windmill!
This is one of the working windmills and you are allowed to go in to have a look. For the price of 5 euros you are provided an information pamphlet and a tour inside. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had the information pamphlet in Hindi and I was told there was one in Tamil too (They had pamphlets in 60 different languages). You just have to tell them your home country to get the pamphlet in the right language for you. You have to climb up a steep wooden stairs to see the internals of windmill. You can walk outside the first floor to see the rotors in action. After this climb down the stairs to go out through a souvenir shop. There are few tables outside to let you laze around and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
