The Spanish organized
V International Conference on Molinology
takes place in Cuidad Real, Castilla-La Mancha from 19th-21st October 2005. The rich windmill history of the region has
added significance this year, as it's the 400th anniversary of the publication of Don Quixote, whose fictional exploits have
made those windmills so famous! There is also a
brief outline available in English.
In related news, the Proceedings of the
IV Conference, held in Mallorca 1st-3rd May 2003, have just been published, as a heavy
two volume set. The conference took place in a variety of languages (Spanish, Mallorcan, English, Italian) with simultaneous
translation provided, but the proceedings are overwhelmingly in Spanish.
