Description

Context The experience takes place at Hacienda Merrha, a 20-hectare organic farm located in Los Alcores, nestled between Carmona and El Viso. Here, the native arbequina olive is cultivated using sustainable practices, including natural sheep grazing and a rich presence of over 60 bird species. The favorable microclimate and dense vegetation cover create ideal conditions for producing high-quality extra virgin olive oil (AOVE), extracted via centrifugation and stored in inert atmospheres to preserve its delicate aromas. The Experience You'll begin with a walk through the olive groves, where the scent of freshly cut grass and birdsong accompany explanations of ecological farming. Next, visit the modern olive mill to learn about oil extraction and preservation techniques. Then, explore a museum featuring a reconstructed Phoenician ship and Roman oil amphorae that illustrate the Roman-era history of olive oil in Baetica. Finally, enjoy a guided sensory tasting of AOVE, identifying fresh, fruity notes, paired with a local appetizer. For Whom Ideal for olive oil tourism enthusiasts interested in ecological production and cultural heritage, families with children who appreciate educational spaces, and cultural tourists seeking nature and history. Not recommended for individuals with limited mobility unless prior arrangements are confirmed. Also not suitable for those preferring very long experiences or who dislike walking. Local Context Los Alcores is a rural region with a long-standing olive farming tradition and rich native biodiversity. The estate maintains ancestral and sustainable practices, integrating local history and culture into a well-preserved natural environment, reflecting the central role of olive oil in Andalusian economy and society.
