"This former mill in the northern part of Aruba hints at the island’s relatively unknown gold rush. First discovered in 1824, gold remained an important Aruban industry until around 1916, with the island producing more than 3 million pounds in total. The precious metal is even reflected in Aruba ’s name, which roughly translates to “there was gold.” At this historic site, windswept stone ruins stand in the middle of a wide expanse of untouched land."
I sound awful but this was not that exciting. Fair to say it was a historic building and of historical interest but a day out just to go there...no. we stayed all of 15 minutes. But just a minute away on a sandy area was the most unusual art. I thought, this can't be naturally conceived! It wasn't. Many visitors to the goldmine could of felt a bit of an anti climax, so they constructed different art from the local stones. We joined in too and spent about 20mins 'designing" and admiring our new art to be added to the collection. Strange how the smallest and sometimes oddest things bring a smile to your face.

This place has such a great view. There was one window that you can feel so much wind. I literally can stand there for a long time. It was so lovely. This place was a great place to visit and a bonus that it is right next to the cave pool.

Kids had fun climbing and exploring the old stone ruins. Another spot good for 10 or 15 minutes max in this area. The area is frequently overrun by groups of 50 more UTVs containing 1 to 6 tourists each. Avoid these areas at those times if possible.

It was an interesting place to explore. There were quite a few people the first time I went. Decided to go in the morning to avoid people in my pictures.
