Abstract

In the Old Inn of Librilla, whose building was promoted by the House of Alba, there existed an oil mill of andalusian tradition equipped with three «viga y quintal» presses and a solid prismatic counterweight tower. The last one, designed for counteracting the push of the beam during the pressing, is an odd element in the oil mills of Murcia and its reminds of examples typical of Sevillian scope, especially where it reaches its main expression in the so-called «Haciendas de Olivar». Bearing that if mind, we will collect the specifi c vocabulary of its parts in its original area and the equivalent terminology in Murcia.
