This mills spreaded out through all the estuaries of the Cantabrian coast during the XVII century, to grind corn. The best preserved example is the Jado tidemill: It shows naval models respresenting the Argoños skiff, and an information centre of the marshes, the fishing traditions of the area and a demonstration of the mill functioning. It is a 45 minutes visit and consists of four parts: the function of the mill, the arts of fishing and gathering shellfish, history and evolution of the boat and general information of Argoños.
