We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
- This activity shows the culture of olive oil as a fundamental part of the local culture, showing the particularities of the area and its link with the economy, environment, culture and local way of life.
- The activity is guided by a local expert, and rigorous information is transmitted, far from folklore, while at the same time accessible to everyone, in a pleasant way, using techniques of heritage interpretation, and in small groups to ensure maximum quality.
- The impact is minimal, since it is carried out in the surroundings of the protected area, outside the protected zone, contributing to decongest the most saturated areas of the Natural Park. In addition, sustainability criteria are applied, such as the reduction of waste generation (reusable glass cups and glasses, refillable water bottles), the use of recycled materials (recycled paper napkins) and the separation and recycling of the waste generated.
- We support local development by offering and promoting only local products from the province of Jaén and with a policy of hiring local people.
