The mills of Folon and Picon are a collection of 60 mills located on the slopes of Monte Campo do Couto, in the Spanish municipality of El Rosal. These mills, built during the 18th century, are arranged in a cascade so that they could share the same water channel.
The energy provided by the waters as it flowed down the mountain was utilized to grind corn and wheat, as well as working with linen and wool. Although no longer operational, the beautifully restored cascaded mills constitute an ensemble of great cultural and ethnographic heritage of the El Rosal region.
