Stay in an authentic Andalusian Cortijo and admire spectacular views of vast olive groves and glorious vineyards. A haven of peace and tranquillity, the farmhouse is nestled amongst lush vegetation and under a blanket of olive-green flora. When you stay at Cortijo, you will receive a free unique visit to LA Organic Experience and discover the ecological agriculture project. There’s no better place to begin your Oleotouristic experience than with a guided tour along idyllic groves of olives. Explore the organic vegetable garden, brimming with fiery tomatoes and crunchy carrots, before strolling through the fruit orchard lined with orange, peach, lemon and fig trees. Immerge in front of an impressive vineyard filled with bursting grapes ready to fill bottles of Pinot Noir.
Sip a glass of wine as you walk through Plaza de la Carlota; a rectangular structure draped with century old olive branches and wrapped in aromatic lavender with hints of rosemary. Learn about the organic cultivation, harvesting, treatment and transportation of olive oil while you’re in the middle of this sustainable and gastronomical project. A 500m2 Greenhouse sits nearby and presents the origins of olive oil, here you can witness a mechanical phenomenon and marvel at an artisan olive mill. After learning the background of olive oil production, dip rustic warm bread in oil, made with the fruit of the trees on-site, at Ermita Doña Lola.
LA Original Intense and LA Original Delicate are the two types of olive produced by the organic project. The former, composed of Picual or Hojiblanca olives, presents an enticing flavour of walnuts and tomato, with an aftertaste of apples. Olives are handpicked in LA Organic and pressed to create an elegant finish and refreshing texture. So, whether you try an oil packed full of powerful flavours or the smooth almond LA Original Delicate oil, you can rest assured that you are tasting quality. Enjoy your gastronomical experience amongst breath taking scenery, a stone’s throw away from the gorgeous emblematic city of Andalucía.
