Hidden among the olive groves on the outskirts of Ronda, LA Almazara stands like a monolith from another world. Designed by renowned French architect Philippe Starck, this red cube-shaped building is not just an olive oil mill—it’s a surreal blend of art, architecture, and Andalusian heritage. In a region known for whitewashed villages and traditional cortijos, LA Almazara is a bold departure and a fresh reason to visit Ronda.

I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain.

My family and I had the pleasure of visiting the LA Organic Experience olive oil tour in Ronda. As soon as we arrived, we were immediately struck by the beauty of the farm and its picturesque setting. Our guide took us on a tour of the olive groves, where we learned about the organic and sustainable farming practices that the farm employs. We were impressed by the farm’s commitment to environmentally-friendly practices, and it was fascinating to see the methods they use to produce their award-winning olive oil.
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)
