Yeah. Rodízio is "water wheel", but that is a different story.

In Pt azenha is (should be, at any rate) specifc for "water ..."; moínho is generic; and moínho de vento is very common for its specific purpose; whereas moínho de água or ... de rodízio are rarely heard. Of course, you can write anything that is right (!!) and then some, but that is a different story.

agree Deborah Workman : Yes. Though it seems that where the text appears in translation elsewhere, the "water" part is left out altogether! http://www.portugal-live.net/UK/places/silver-coast/aveiro.h...
