From culture to adventure
Description
There are experiences that are remembered for what they teach and for what they live. In the Cortijo Las Huertas, this proposal unites both dimensions to invite you to be part of the olive cycle, from the root to the final result.The day begins with an introduction to the culture of extra virgin olive oil, understanding its importance in the landscape and in the life of Sierra Magina. Very soon, the visitor goes from watching to participating: tools in hand, the collection of olives is started directly from the tree, learning about varieties, cultivation systems and traditional and current techniques. This direct contact with the olive tree allows us to understand the effort, rhythm and knowledge behind each harvest. An experience that connects with the earth in an authentic way, in an environment of soft lomas and olive groves that dominate the valley. After the collection, the tour continues in the 1941 hydraulic mill, where the origins of the process are discovered, and then progress towards the modern mill and know how the olive is now transformed into AOVE, from extraction to packaging. The experience is complete with a tasting of products made with extra virgin olive oil, closing the circle between work, tradition and taste.
