The church was built thanks to the fact, that a big part of the capital was donated by an emigrant from Tejeda, Matias Sarmiento, who was living in Havana. The construction was stopped several times. But in 1811, Cabilde Catedralicio supported the church, and it was finished 2 Years later.

This windmill, after which the neighbourhood is named, is one of the few to be found on the island. The beautiful old Windmill in Mogán origin 1700 has been renovated in 1998 by an craftsman from Lanzarote, with wood imported from Honduras. It played an important part in the history of Mogán, as it was here that local people brought their grain to be milled to obtain gofio, the staple foodstuff of the time. In ruins for decades following a fire, it was recently restored and is now in working order.

An outstanding example of a traditional rural house is found here. With two floors, it features a wooden corridor on the upper level reached by an outside stairway. It has an open front patio and a kiln and animal sheds in the vicinity.

On the road from Mogán to La Aldea de San Nicolás sheer rock faces with a characteristic green hue appear. The coloration is due to hydrothermal changes which took place thousands of years ago as gases leaked through the earth.
