We will learn a little more about the different oils and their labels: organic, virgin, virgin extra, one single olive variety, acidity percentage, appellations of origin, etc

Concerning the Andalusian wines: you can experience 4 different Andalusian wines: a white and a red from La Alpujarra, La Contraviesa and a Fino and Pedro Ximenez, from Montilla-Moriles (or Spanish wines, from La Rioja, Cataluña…). These wines will be served with 'tapas': Serrano ham and local cheese appetizers.

The tour keeps on through the beautiful Lecrin Valley. We will stop at a viewpoint to admire the multiple colors and perfumes of this hilly countryside.

IWhen it's time to eat you will visit the typical Andalusian restaurant: a 'Mesón', in a pretty village. The lunch will be a typical homemade Andalusian menu, including a starter (you can choose between: seafood soup, gazpacho, composed salad…), the main dish (either: paella, roast ham, fried fish and other local specialties…), a drink (wine, water or a fizzy drink), dessert and coffee.
