Persia


- proper noun
- Persia

EN The earliest references to windmills date back to 7th century Persia, but for many the image most closely associated with wind power is that which gave Don Quixote such a fright: a picturesque timber tower supporting four long cloth-covered sails rotating in the wind.
GL As primeiras alusións a un muíño de vento remóntanse á Persia do século VII. Pero a imaxe que máis se asocia coa enerxía eólica é a que asustou tanto a don Quixote: unha torre que rematan catro grandes aspas que o vento fai xirar.
