The origin of the watermills

In the old ages, they were grain milled with hand mills and stone. Then they invented the mills powered by animals, even though they were heavy and slow. Until the Middle Ages they did not extend the conditions necessary to operate the mills with natural forces, such as water or wind, which greatly made  the work easier. Gradually they forgot to use other methods, manuals and cattle, used for thousands of years, leaving only water and wind power as rotating mills.

Watermill

The water mills were outstanding as they were most helpful as they could be running 24 hours with the strength of the current of water from a river or stream, but only when the wind was strong.

They had a lot of generated mills, as many farmers wanted to use a mill, and if they wanted to use one, they had to pay with grain or flour of a mill owner, who often was a feudal lord.

It depends on the area, the mills have different purposes. For example, in Andalusia they were used to obtain oil and Canary gofio. In other areas it  was common to use wheat flour ..

Conclusion: My conclusion is that this work has been a little difficult but helped me improve English. I also learned more about the origins of water mills
