NB: If you Google search "lugged frame", most of the hits are about bicyle building, but I think it works in other contexts too.

NB: If they are simply for decoration, as James suggests, "lugs" is not a good option.

window frames with elaborated corners
I put some of your quoted text into a search engine and came up with this enormous link below, which downloads a pdf document that seems to be the source of your text. Your quoted text is at the top of the right-hand column on page 24, and it refers to Figure 3 on page 23, which seems to show your octagonal tower and the blind windows.
It seems that the orejetas are the sort of elaborated decorative corners on the stone frame, so I am suggesting a translation of "(window frames with) elaborated corners".
There may be a more specific term for these, or a better adjective to apply, but that's the thought that comes to mind for me from looking at the photo.

Following up on Charles' comment below Neil's answer, I found this site which says that these are called "ears" (or also lugs or crossettes), and, by the way, that the "window frames" are more properly called architraves...: http://www.buffaloah.com/a/DCTNRY/e/ear.html
So, architraves with ears/lugs/crossettes? In fact, on crossettes, see:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/crossette
I would personally probably go with "architraves with crossettes" given the nature of the source text, since both lugs (as Neil points out) and ears sound a bit pedestrian.

Peer comment(s):
| agree |
neilmac
: If they are purely decorative, something like this would be a better option than the rather pedestrian "lugs" IMHO.

Charles Davis
: Lugs is fairly standard in architectural history, but I must admit that crossettes sounds nicer! And architraves is correct and sounds fancier.
