Overview
One of the best ways to truly understand a culture is through its cuisine, and no visit to Andalusia is complete without experiencing its world-renowned olive oil. On this half-day excursion, your private driver will take you to Nigüelas, a charming village nestled in "El Valle del Lecrín," just 30 minutes from Granada.
We’ll start with a visit to a traditional "Almazara," an ancient olive oil mill, where you’ll learn about the time-honored techniques and how they've evolved over the centuries.
Next, we'll take you to the olive groves, where you’ll discover the different types of olives, the harvest seasons, and the methods of collection—all set in a beautiful natural environment.
To top off the experience, you'll enjoy a guided olive oil tasting led by our expert guide, a licensed professional in olive oil tasting.
