These windmills are very famous because of the well known writer Cervantes’s novel, “Don Quijote” is known all over the world. Toledo is an important city in Spain because it has a history of Muslim, Christian and Jewish. We saw the gates of old city that one of them for Muslim, the other one is Christian.
