In the last decades old windmills have been restored and transformed into summer country houses, like this one located in southern Portugal (west coast).As this post is an off-topic (nothing to do with Oeiras) I leave you with Falcão Azul (Blue Hawk), an helicopter company whose site has some interesting aerial views of Lisbon and other parts of central and southern Portugal. Click on the engish version and it will automatically show you the five clips (options on the right).

Now that's more like I would expect from Portugal.
superbe moulin, il fait très moderne comme architecture
great mill, it is very modern architecture
The windmill house is beautiful.
But the vistas of Portugal from the helicopter are BREATH-TAKING!!
Listening to the Portuguese version is so nice. Thanks for this precious link.
What a country you have!
I wouldn'd say no to holiday in this windmill. Looks like a perfect holiday place.
You live in a beautiful country JM.
How romantic to live in a windmill. But where are the windows?
Brattcat, windows are on the other side of the house, opposite to the sea - what I don't understand in this case...
Yesterday's photo looked like it belonged in the American West. Today's windmill could be on a Greek Island.
I've never been in a windmill so cannot imagine how it could be transformed into a house...
I love this shot, JM!
It is a beautiful picture. You have a beautiful country.
That is such interesting architecture. I wondered about windows too but I'd take it in a minute!

This one is more like one I would expect to see in your neck of the wood. Beautiful.
Bom dia querido JM!
Many thanks for this beautiful windmill!
( espero um dia ter a agradavel oportunidade de visitar e até mesmo ver como funciona por dentro um "moinho de vento", o que seria fantastico , um presente para os meus dias!)
I will check that site, thanks for the clue!

I would enjoy seeing the inside and how they transformed it into a home. Great photo.
Nice house !I really appreciate the link and the views from above are great !
Probably too much wind on the Ocean side...
I recognized a few monuments you showed us, on that tour.
It's an excellent way to have a good idea of a city if one is not afraid of heights!!!
I do like a windmill. so picturesque.
I have been gone for awhile so I had to go over your past posts. Lovely and some strange shots but all good. MB
May not be in Oeiras but looks much more European than yesterday's!
This windmill looks indeed more local. I love the colors of the building... very mediterranean.
Aannd... you've been tagged on a small meme on SCL daily photo.
That is Portugal, all right! Lovely country, lovely photo!
I saw this photo this morning but was in a hurry and didn't get to the link until just now. Wow, what a beautiful site. I'm going to look at it again after work. I love your photo today. What a beautiful windmill.

It looks marvelous although, if the windmill is still functional it could be noisy. Can't you just imagine spending your vacation complaining about the windmill screeching. I wish we treasured and built our structures so well. It's gorgeous.
Nice mill and I also see a nice weather in Oeiras. Lucky you !
It is very interesting to stay at old windmills and also at this height, the view must be spectacular.
Thank you for your patience and for bearing with the technical problems on the website. Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come back tomorrow for more of the Keukenhof series!
