LA Organic Experience: Olive Oil Tour in Ronda

LA Organic Experience Olive oil tour

The LA Organic Experience offers visitors the chance to explore an organic olive farm near Ronda and discover how olive oil is produced, from the olive groves through to the finished oil.

We visited with our family and joined a guided tour around the estate, where we learned about the organic farming methods used at LA Organic and saw how the landscape combines olive groves, gardens, vineyards and artistic installations.

The tour finishes with a tasting of LA Organic’s organic olive oils, giving you the opportunity to compare different varieties and learn more about the flavours and characteristics of the oils.

There is even a fantastic guest house here if you want to stay in this idylic setting. (Scroll down to the bottom of this page for prices and reservation details)

El Bosque Botanical Gardens

Botanic gardens in El Bosque

Within the Serrania we are lucky enough to have three natural parks, (Grazalema, Sierra de las Nieves, and Alcornocales). El Bosque Botanical Gardens in the village El Bosque is a small botanical garden called “El Castillejo” and it is devoted exclusively to the local and endemic plant species of these mountains.

Due to the Serrania being both Mediterranean and European, many of the tree species are common throughout Europe, whilst most of the shrubs are generally Mediterranean. Most of the flowers and grasses are either Mediterranean or endemic to the area.

Your stroll will take you through several mini ecosystems, each with their own viewing area to sit and appreciate the surroundings.

Why not reserve a hotel in the village?
