The existence of the textile industry in Antequera has been documented since the end of the 15th century, and over time it has tended to focus on wool manufacturing, although there are also strongholds dedicated to silk and linen. It is also the only one that conserves the fulling mill building. One element to be taken into account is the water wheel which, although it corresponds to the woollen mill of the old paper mill, has been installed in place of its own in order to complete the ensemble. (+info) https://turismo.antequera.es/ver-y-hacer/lugares-de-interes/
