Graciosa is known as the white island but it is also known for their windmills. The island was known for their unique windmills and still is. On the island there are at least 3 windmills or more in each village. Most are not in working condition now but there is one that is still in perfect condition where tourists may go and see how they work. Many of the windmills have been restored and have been built into homes. Across the street from my home a couple own one and have made it into their summer home. The windmills are big enough to make into a home, if you notice the style of this windmill and windmills on other islands they are very different in their own ways.
