About
There are several old mills in the area, but Molino García is the only one still fully intact and able to run. Built in 1876, the complex includes the original corn mill, a noodle factory, and workshops for both wood and metal.
At the start of the 20th century, this region was booming with wheat and flour production. The mills were powered by water brought from the mountains through a vast canal system known as the canal del alto. But with the arrival of the train, and cheaper wheat production in the wet Pampas, local mills couldn’t compete, and many slowly shut down.
Today, Molino García isn’t in regular operation, but everything still functions, and the mill can be set in motion to demonstrate how it once worked. Visitors can see the original machinery and watch the full flour-making process come alive.
