The journey begins with a a pleasant interpretative walk through the region’s traditional olive grove, where you will gather medicinal and aromatic plants such as rosemary, lavender and marigold, and discover their valuable traditional uses.

Subsequently, in the oil mill workshop, you’ll learn how to make beautiful traditional lamps by applying the principles of the circular economy. Using reused glass jars, natural essences, waxed twine and oil left over from machinery maintenance, he will create a unique piece steeped in symbolism.

A fantastic initiative in environmental education ideal for families which promotes the responsible use of the resources of the dehesa.
