Description

Context Villa del Río, located in Córdoba, is a municipality with deep-rooted agricultural and cultural traditions. Here, organic farming coexists with rural life, and in autumn, herbal workshops make use of the region’s rich botanical diversity. The workshop takes place on a working farm that combines classroom space with open fields, enabling direct, context-based learning.

The Experience Over four hours, you’ll combine audiovisual theory with a guided ethnobotanical walk through the rural landscape. Fresh air carries the scents of thyme and rosemary as you touch and recognize medicinal plants. You’ll learn to distinguish species, collect them sustainably, and prepare natural remedies using their textures and aromas.

For Whom This workshop is ideal for adults with no prior experience who are interested in natural medicine and outdoor activities. It involves light physical activity, including walking and standing for several hours, so it may not be suitable for people with limited mobility unless adapted in advance.

Local Context Villa del Río preserves the Andalusian tradition of ethnobotany, passed down through generations of farmers. These workshops are part of a community commitment to safeguard and share ancestral knowledge in a genuine rural environment.
