Workshops and Talks
We will tell you everything you need to know about oil. Our workshops include olive picking and making natural soaps from olive oil and bee honey extracts.
Rural Accommodation
La Samiaja Cortijo (our farmstead) contains around 2.000m² of calm and tranquillity. It is a peaceful haven, located in front of the olive grove. Everywhere you look, you will see evidence of our oil production traditions, such as stones from the windmill and farming implements. You will see the old San Antonio Oil Factory, a simple building, whose chimneys and quiet courtyards are perfectly framed by fig and other fruit orchards growing near the reservoir.
Trekking
If you enjoy nature and would like to experience something different during your free time, we invite you to discover the natural paradise of the Archidona region.
The interconnected walking routes will enable you to appreciate the diverse landscapes and valuable cultural heritage of our region. Discover the history and natural legacy of the area while admiring unforgettable views.
Visit to Archidona
Discover the beauty of our town, declared a ‘historic-artistic’ site. We will travel back in time visiting the Arabic Arxiduna and be surprised discovering a ninth-century Mosque and the impressive views from the walled enclosure.
