A small ruined windmill set on low coastal hills near Altura — strong textural subject against wide Algarve skies. Shoot the crumbling stone, sails and doorways for intimate architectural detail, or place the mill as a lone focal point in sweeping landscape frames. Best light is golden hour at sunrise or sunset; late-afternoon side light brings out texture. Site is rural with roadside parking and an uneven dirt path; no formal entry required but respect private land and livestock.
