Guided tour of the Oridno Flour Mills
Why did Ordino need 23 flour mills in the 17th century?
The flour mill route is a route that connects La Cortinada with Ordino, lasting approximately three hours. The guide Inka Bellés takes you back to the 18th and 19th centuries to explain why there were twenty-three flour mills in Ordino, how they worked, who they belonged to and how they have survived to this day.
During the visit, you will be able to attend a demonstration of how wheat grain was ground at the Mas d'en Soler mill in La Cortinada; explore the Cal Pal mill, where there is a brief photographic exhibition depicting agricultural life in the parish during the first half of the 20th century. Afterwards, you will take a 3 km route on flat terrain to Ordino, where you will discover the secrets of these traditional constructions until you reach the Santa Bárbara mill.
The guided tour ends with a tasting of cakes and breads made with different types of flour in Santa Bárbara. The route is done on foot and the return journey is done by parish bus.
We are waiting for you!
