“From olive to oil” It is an immersive experience that invites you to discover the traditional olive grove of La Raya by actively taking part in the olive harvest during the season. The activity begins amongst the centuries-old trees, where you will learn about the local varieties, traditional techniques and the cultural significance of olive growing. Visitors learn how to shake the trees, pick and sort the fruit, experiencing first-hand one of the region’s most iconic agricultural activities.
The day continues at the olive oil mill, where the entire process of producing extra virgin olive oil is demonstrated: cleaning, grinding and cold extraction. Tradition and innovation come together to reveal how the olive is transformed into one of the most prized products of Mediterranean cuisine.
Designed for families, groups and lovers of nature and rural culture, this educational and participatory experience helps visitors to understand the importance of agricultural heritage, promotes sustainability and allows them to enjoy a UNESCO-recognised environment.
