Fragrances, orchards, and Moorish landscapes along the Segura River
On this tour, you’ll discover the Ricote Valley through its agricultural landscapes, its scents, and the history of a traditional orchard that has been linked to the Segura River for centuries. Depending on the time of year, you can enjoy the orange blossom season or the lemon harvest, two unique times of year that transform this region and fill it with color and fragrance.
The experience combines car rides and short walks through some of the valley’s most iconic spots, passing through Moorish orchards, viewpoints, and ancient irrigation systems that are still in use today.
Along the route, you’ll visit places like the Mirador del Trasvase, La Asomá, or the Salto de la Novia site, enjoying sweeping views of the valley’s agricultural and mountainous landscape.
One of the most special moments is the visit to the Huerta de Macu, a traditional citrus orchard where you’ll learn about the cultivation techniques and the historic irrigation system that has kept the orchard alive for generations. The tour continues among century-old lemon trees near the Ermita de Nuestra Señora de las Huertas and the historic center of Ojós, revealing the close relationship between culture, agriculture, and landscape.
The experience also highlights local cuisine, offering the chance to sample traditional products like the classic bizcocho borracho and round out the day with a picnic lunch or an optional meal at a local restaurant. Additionally, each participant will receive a kilo of lemons as a souvenir of this immersion in the orchards of the Ricote Valley.
