The Story
Built in 1750 to turn grain into flour. Rehabilitated in 2000 to hold a quieter kind of life.
The Molino de Guevara stands where it always has, in the fertile valley of the Río Almanzora, drawing its name from the water that once turned its stone. Its irrigation channel, its stone pit and its vaulted cárcavo — the tunnel where the water-wheel turned — remain intact beneath the house, and can be visited on request. Above them, the old grinding floor and grain store have become a home: white-limed walls, timber-and-cane ceilings, and a 600 sqm garden set against the mill's original stone buttresses.
This is rural Almería as it was built to be lived in — not a monument kept behind rope, but a house that has simply kept its character while taking on a new use.
