Here you can see photomontages showing what the planned windmills would look like. The photographs have been taken from Benillup and Quatretondeta. They are based on the true measurements of the wind turbines:
65 m. tower + 35 m. blade = 100 metres!

COMPARISON ON REAL SCALE WITH COCENTAINA CASTLE
EXAMPLE OF A 40 METRE-HIGH WIND TURBINE ... (THE ONES IN ZONE 14 WOULD BE 100 M.!)


Photo taken on 30/05/2004 in Bonete (Albacete). 660 kw wind turbine.

The windmills they want to build on our sierras are approximately 25 metres taller than the one in the photo (65 m. tower), and each blade would be over 35 metres long.

 
BASE OF A 660 KW WINDMILL... (THE ONES IN ZONE 14 WILL BE TWICE AS WIDE)


Photo taken on 30/05/2004 in Bonete (Albacete). 660 kw wind turbine.

The base of the windmills they want to build on our mountains has a diameter approximately twice that of the one in the photo.
