西班牙骑士最大的敌人(A Spanish knight's greatest foes)

在康苏格拉镇，米格尔·德·塞万提斯的西班牙史诗小说中的英雄堂吉诃德的冒险故事仍然挥之不去。这个位于卡斯蒂利亚-拉曼恰的旅游目的地以一个被称为Cerro Calderico的小山脉而闻名。该山脉顶部有12座白色风车，也许正是这一点激发了塞万提斯将它们描绘成一支巨人军队的灵感。这些风车有石墙和木制叶片，其中一些可以追溯到16世纪。现在，它们是过去用来碾磨谷物的时代的活遗迹。

In the town of Consuegra, the echoes of the adventures of Don Quixote—the hero of the Spanish epic novel by Miguel de Cervantes—still linger. This tourist destination in Castilla-La Mancha is famous for a small mountain range, known as Cerro Calderico. The range is crowned with 12 white windmills, perhaps the very same that inspired Cervantes to picture them as an army of giants. With their stone walls and wooden blades, some of these windmills date back to the 16th century. Now, they are living relics of a bygone era when they were used to grind grain.
