Practical workshop for the elaboration of natural soaps, creams and ointments using olive oil as an essential base.olive oil as an essential base.
Discover the secrets of natural cosmetics inspired by the Mediterranean in this Natural Cosmetics and Oleotourism Workshop. Guided by Marta, a specialized artisan, you will learn how to transform the "liquid gold" into personal care products such as soaps, creams and medicinal ointments, through a practical, sensory and close to nature experience.
The activity takes place at Cortijo El Soto, an environment where pine and oak forests intertwine with olive groves, evoking the old mountain farmhouses where life was far from the villages.
Located in the ravine of El Tesoro, this unique enclave invites you to start walks into the interior of the mountains and becomes the perfect setting to connect with the landscape, the craftsmanship and the purest and healthiest cosmetics, taking home not only products, but also knowledge and experience.
